Psalms 112:9

112:9 He generously gives to the needy;

his integrity endures.

He will be vindicated and honored.

Psalms 130:4

130:4 But you are willing to forgive,

so that you might be honored.


tn Heb “he scatters, he gives.”

tn Heb “stands forever.”

tn Heb “his horn will be lifted up in honor.” The horn of an ox underlies the metaphor (see Deut 33:17; 1 Kgs 22:11; Ps 92:10). The horn of the wild ox is frequently a metaphor for military strength; the idiom “exalt/lift up the horn” signifies military victory (see 1 Sam 2:10; Pss 89:17, 24; 92:10; Lam 2:17).

tn Or “surely.”

tn Heb “for with you [there is] forgiveness.”

tn Or “consequently you are.”

tn Heb “feared.”
