33:14 From the place where he lives he looks carefully
at all the earth’s inhabitants.
75:3 When the earth and all its inhabitants dissolve in fear, 1
I make its pillars secure.” 2 (Selah)
107:34 and a fruitful land into a barren place, 3
because of the sin of its inhabitants.
1 tn Heb “melt.”
2 tn The statement is understood in a generalizing sense; God typically prevents the world from being overrun by chaos. One could take this as referring to an anticipated event, “I will make its pillars secure.”
3 tn Heb “a salty land.”
