In Psalm 69:16, תֶּאְטַר is a Qal jussive, third feminine singular form in a plea addressed to the LORD. The APB renders the verse, “Answer me, O the LORD, for your kindness is good; in the abundance of your compassions turn to me,” but its loose wording does not identify a separate English equivalent for this form.
In the Anselm Project Bible: In Psalm 69:16, the APB presents the surrounding plea with “Answer me” and “turn to me.” It does not clearly isolate how it renders the term.
