Psalms 37:39-40

37:39 But the Lord delivers the godly;

he protects them in times of trouble.

37:40 The Lord helps them and rescues them;

he rescues them from evil men and delivers them,

for they seek his protection.


tn Heb “and the deliverance of the godly [ones] [is] from the Lord.”

tn Heb “[he is] their place of refuge in a time of trouble.”

tn The prefixed verbal forms with vav (ו) consecutive carry on the generalizing tone of the preceding verse.
