se.ver denotes hope placed in God’s word or in the LORD.

The two attested clauses show hope as something directed toward God: in Psalm 119:116 it stands within a plea for support according to God’s word, and in Psalm 146:5 it is located in the LORD.

Senses in use

  1. Hope directed toward God · dominant

    Both occurrences use the noun in the construct form within clauses that locate hope in relation to God. In Psalm 119:116 the APB renders a plea for support according to God’s word and asks not to be put to shame because of “my hope”; in Psalm 146:5 it renders the blessed person as one whose “hope is in the LORD his God.”

In the Anselm Project Bible: The APB uses “hope” in both verses: as the speaker’s hope in Psalm 119:116 and as hope “in the LORD his God” in Psalm 146:5. These renderings confirm the clauses’ overall presentation rather than isolate every grammatical relation.
