Psalms 25:12

Context

25:12 The Lord shows his faithful followers

the way they should live. 1 

Psalms 61:7

Context

61:7 May he reign 2  forever before God!

Decree that your loyal love and faithfulness should protect him. 3 

Psalms 111:8

Context

111:8 They are forever firm,

and should be faithfully and properly carried out. 4 

1 tn Heb “Who is this man, the one who fears the Lord? He will instruct him in the way he should choose.” The singular (note “man”) is representative here (see v. 14, where the plural is used), and has thus been translated as a plural (“followers…they”).

2 tn Heb “sit [enthroned].” The prefixed verbal form is understood as a jussive here, expressing the psalmist’s prayer.

3 tn Heb “loyal love and faithfulness appoint, let them protect him.”

4 tn Heb “done in faithfulness and uprightness.” The passive participle probably has the force of a gerund. See L. C. Allen, Psalms 101-150 (WBC), 89.
