The Query, about the solution of which they differ, is the proper mode of rendering the last clause of v. 2. Ps. cxxvii. In our Liturgy and Bible it is rendered, "_For_ so He giveth His beloved sleep;" of which E. M. B. says, "It seems to me to be correct;" though he justly observes that "He will give" would be more close. Mr. Trench appears to have rendered it, "He giveth His beloved _in their_ sleep." MR. MARGOLIOUTH says "the words should be, He will give to His beloved _whilst he_ [the beloved] _is_ asleep." In each case the Italics, as usual, designate words not existing in the Hebrew text. When expositors would get through a difficult passage, their readers have, not unfrequently, the vexation of finding that a word of some importance has been ignored. Such has been the case here with the little word [Hebrew: KN], which introduces the clause. Its ordinary meaning is _so_; and the office of the word _so_, in such a position, is to lead the remind to revert to what has been previously said, as necessary to the proper application of what follows. Now, the Psalmist's theme was the vanity of all care and labour, unless the Lord both provide for and watch over His people; _for_ so He will give His beloved sleep--that happy, confiding repose which the solicitude of the worldly cannot procure. This is, surely, intelligible enough and even if [Hebrew: KN] may be translated _for_ (which Noldius, in his _Concordantia Particularum_, affirms that it here may, adducing however but one dubious instance of its being so used elsewhere, viz. Jeremiah xiv. 10.), or if the various reading, [Hebrew: KY], be accepted, which would mean _for_, our version of the clause will be quite compatible with either alteration.
