Psalms 55:12

55:12 Indeed, it is not an enemy who insults me,

or else I could bear it;

it is not one who hates me who arrogantly taunts me,

or else I could hide from him.

Psalms 78:4

78:4 we will not hide from their descendants.

We will tell the next generation

about the Lord’s praiseworthy acts,

about his strength and the amazing things he has done.


tn Or “for.”

tn Heb “[who] magnifies against me.” See Pss 35:26; 38:16.

tn The pronominal suffix refers back to the “fathers” (“our ancestors,” v. 3).

tn Heb “to a following generation telling the praises of the Lord.” “Praises” stand by metonymy for the mighty acts that prompt worship. Cf. Ps 9:14.
