The Key Word — אַשְׁרֵ֤י, 'ash.Reigenerated
The word אַשְׁרֵי ('ashrei) is a masculine plural noun that conveys a sense of happiness or blessedness. It is often used as an interjection, expressing joy and delight. This word appears frequently in the Hebrew Bible, highlighting the state of being blessed by God.

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 main finite verb is תִּֽבְחַ֣ר (tivchar), you choose, which governs the structure of the verse. The subject is implied as 'You', referring to God, and several phrases elaborate on the blessings associated with His choice.
The sentence structure emphasizes the actions of choosing, bringing near, and dwelling, which collectively highlight the relationship between God and those He has chosen.
Septuagint Backgroundgenerated
In the Septuagint, the Hebrew word אַשְׁרֵי is rendered as λόγοι (logoi), which means 'words'. This choice indicates a shift from a direct expression of blessedness to a more abstract representation, possibly reflecting a different interpretative approach by the translators.
The translation of תִּֽבְחַ֣ר as ἀνομιῶν suggests a focus on the concept of iniquities, which may reflect the translators' understanding of the context of divine selection.

The four witnesses to this verse — Masoretic, Septuagint, Samaritan, Qumran
The Masoretic Text (MT) of Psalms 65:4 reads: 'Blessed is the one You choose and bring near to dwell in Your courts! We are filled with the goodness of Your house, the holiness of Your temple.' The Septuagint (LXX) has a word-by-word correspondence that matches 7 of the 10 words found in the MT, indicating a level of agreement in content, though the specific wording and structure may differ. The Samaritan Pentateuch and the Dead Sea Scrolls do not provide additional textual evidence for this verse, so their agreement or disagreement cannot be assessed here.

HR/Ncmsc — Preposition · noun common masculine singular constructHR/Ncmsc
ov:
(1) In Anglo-Saxon, had the meaning "from," "away from" (as the strengthened form "off" has still), and was not used for genitive or possessive relations, these being expressed by special case-forms. In the Norman period, however, "of" was taken to represent the French de (a use well developed by the time of Chaucer), and in the Elizabethan period both senses of "of" were in common use. But after about 1600 the later force of the word became predominant, and in the earlier sense (which is now practically obsolete) it was replaced by other prepositions. In consequence the King James Version (and in some cases the Revised Version (British and American)) contains many uses of "of" that are no longer familiar--most of them, to be sure, causing no difficulty, but there still being a few responsible for real obscurities.
OF, preposition ov. [Gr.]
1. From or out of; proceeding from, as the cause, source, means, author or agent bestowing.

(1) In Anglo-Saxon, had the meaning "from," "away from" (as the strengthened form "off" has still), and was not used for genitive or possessive relations, these being expressed by special case-forms. In the Norman period, however, "of" was taken to represent the French de (a use well developed by the time of Chaucer), and in the Elizabethan period both senses of "of" were in common use. But after about 1600 the later force of the word became predominant, and in the earlier sense (which is now practically obsolete) it was replaced by other prepositions. In consequence the King James Version (and in some cases the Revised Version (British and American)) contains many uses of "of" that are no longer familiar--most of them, to be sure, causing no difficulty, but there still being a few responsible for real obscurities.
