Psalms 9:20

Give them a teacher (reverence, fear), Lord (Yahweh).
Let the heathen nations understand that they are only human.
[The Hebrew word morah is only used here in the entire Bible. It has the same consonants as the word for "teacher." The Greek and Syrian translations of the Old Testament translate it that way. Others see morah as a misspelling of the Hebrew mora, which means "reverence, terror, and fear."
The eleventh Hebrew letter that begins the verse is: כ – kaf. The character depicts a palm. The word "For" begins with this word and ties in with the previous verses that God will judge unrighteousness, see verses 17-18. The symbol of the outstretched hand may reinforce David's desire for God to act and stretch out his hand so that the nations will learn and understand that God wants a relationship with them. Paul takes up the same theme and asks rhetorically in Rom. 10:14 how anyone can call upon and believe in God if they have not heard about Him. In the same way as before, when verses 10 and 11 were added to restore order, this passage has been extended with verse 21. In verse 18, the ungodly were mentioned, the order was disrupted, and the passage became shorter. Once again, order is restored, and with an outstretched hand!]
Selah. [Probably a break for an instrumental interlude, a pause to reflect on what has just been sung.]
