those who wait for him to demonstrate his faithfulness 2 

Psalms 33:22

33:22 May we experience your faithfulness, O Lord, 3 

for 4  we wait for you.

1 tn Heb “look, the eye of the Lord [is] toward the ones who fear him.” The expression “the eye…[is] toward” here indicates recognition and the bestowing of favor. See Ps 34:15. The one who fears the Lord respects his sovereignty and obeys his commandments. See Ps 128:1; Prov 14:2.

2 tn Heb “for the ones who wait for his faithfulness.”

3 tn Heb “let your faithfulness, O Lord, be on us.”

4 tn Or “just as.”
