Psalms 50:2

50:2 From Zion, the most beautiful of all places,

God comes in splendor.

Psalms 121:2

121:2 My help comes from the Lord,

the Creator of heaven and earth!


tn Heb “the perfection of beauty.”

tn Or “shines forth.”

sn Comes in splendor. The psalmist may allude ironically to Deut 33:2, where God “shines forth” from Sinai and comes to superintend Moses’ blessing of the tribes.

tn Heb “my help [is] from with the Lord.”

tn Or “Maker.”
