Psalms 37:30

37:30 The godly speak wise words

and promote justice.

Psalms 119:142

119:142 Your justice endures,

and your law is reliable.


tn Heb “The mouth of the godly [one] utters wisdom, and his tongue speaks justice.” The singular form is used in a representative sense; the typical godly individual is in view. The imperfect verbal forms draw attention to the characteristic behavior of the godly.

tn Heb “your justice [is] justice forever.”

tn Or “truth.”
