let me act wisely
| Morphological Notes | Verb, Qal stem, 1st person common singular, cohortative (volitional). |
| Rendering Rationale | The Qal stem conveys the simple act of being or acting wisely. The 1st person singular cohortative expresses volition or resolve, hence "let me act wisely" reflects both the root meaning and the cohortative nuance. |
