Psalms 25:12-13

25:12 The Lord shows his faithful followers

the way they should live. 1 

25:13 They experience his favor; 2 

their descendants 3  inherit the land. 4 

1 tn Heb “Who is this man, the one who fears the Lord? He will instruct him in the way he should choose.” The singular (note “man”) is representative here (see v. 14, where the plural is used), and has thus been translated as a plural (“followers…they”).

2 tn Heb “his life in goodness dwells.” The singular is representative (see v. 14).

3 tn Or “offspring”; Heb “seed.”

4 tn Or “earth.”
