The Key Word — נַחַל, Mi.na.chalgenerated
The word נַחַל (*naḥal*) is a noun that refers to a brook or stream, often associated with a valley or wadi where water flows. It emphasizes the flowing nature of water, indicating a source of life and refreshment. In this verse, it highlights the sustenance that the figure receives as He continues on His journey.
In the context of this psalm, drinking from the brook symbolizes not only physical refreshment but also spiritual nourishment. The act of drinking is a precursor to the lifting up of His head, suggesting that the strength gained from this sustenance enables Him to rise in authority.
How Translations Differ — measured against the Berean Standard Biblegenerated
This study reads the verse in the Berean Standard Bible, so the BSB is the wording every comparison below is made against.
Sentence Structuregenerated
The finite verbs יִשְׁתֶּ֑ה, he drinks, and יָרִ֥ים, he lifts up, govern the structure of the verse. The first action of drinking from the brook is followed by the consequence of lifting up His head.
The prepositional phrases מִ֭נַּחַל, from the brook, and בַּדֶּ֣רֶךְ, by the road, provide context for where the drinking occurs, while the conjunction כֵּ֝֗ן, therefore, links the two actions.
Septuagint Backgroundgenerated
The Septuagint translates נַחַל as ξειμάρρου, which suggests a focus on the flowing nature of the stream. This choice emphasizes the life-giving properties of the water.
This translation choice reflects a broader understanding of the imagery, as the Greek term can convey a sense of abundance and nourishment.

Such is undoubtedly the meaning of this verse, and we need not suppose a sudden change of subject, as some critics do, as if the picture representing a thirsty warrior were unworthy of Jehovah. Poetry knows nothing of such timidity, and with the grand scene of Isa 63:1-6, of the hero stained with blood, we need not hesitate to admit this further detail so true to life, even if we had not in Psalms 60, 108 images of a still more homely type.

The subject of this verse is not Jehovah, though the O.T. does not shrink from the boldest anthropomorphisms (e.g. Psalms 78:65; Isaiah 63:1 ff.), but the king. The transition is abrupt, but as in the prophets we pass insensibly from the words of Jehovah to the words of the prophet, so here we pass from the action of Jehovah to the action of the king, who is His representative. The poet presents him to our imagination in hot pursuit of the enemy. Though wearied with the toil of battle, he does not desist. He halts but for a moment to drink from the mountain torrent which he crosses. Refreshed and invigorated, he presses forward to complete his victory, till he is exalted in triumph over…
