The Key Word — נִסְמַ֬כְתִּי, nis.Makh.tigenerated
The verb נִסְמַךְ (*samakh*) is in the Niphal form, indicating a passive voice. This suggests that the psalmist has not only supported himself but has been supported by God throughout his life. It emphasizes a relationship of dependence, where the psalmist leans on God for strength and sustenance.
This word encapsulates the idea of trust, as the psalmist acknowledges that his entire existence has been underpinned by God's support since his very beginning. The use of the perfect tense indicates a completed action, reinforcing the ongoing nature of this trust.

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 verb of the verse is נִסְמַ֬כְתִּי, I have leaned, which governs the entire sentence. The structure includes prepositional phrases indicating the source of support and the subject's relationship to God, highlighting the psalmist's trust.
The order of the Hebrew words emphasizes the psalmist's reliance on God, with the prepositional phrases providing context and depth to the statement of trust.

In the Septuagint, the Hebrew verb נִסְמַךְ is rendered as ἐπεστηρίξθην, which means 'I was supported.' This choice narrows the focus to the action of being upheld, suggesting a more passive reception of support rather than an active leaning.
This translation choice emphasizes the psalmist's complete dependence on God, aligning with the overall theme of trust and reliance found in the psalm.

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.
