Psalms 37:19

Context

37:19 They will not be ashamed when hard times come; 1 

when famine comes they will have enough to eat. 2 

Psalms 97:7

Context

97:7 All who worship idols are ashamed,

those who boast about worthless idols.

All the gods bow down before him. 3 

1 tn Heb “in a time of trouble.”

2 tn Heb “in days of famine they will be satisfied.”

3 tn The translation assumes that the prefixed verbal form in the first line is an imperfect (“are ashamed”) and that the ambiguous form in the third line is a perfect (“bow down”) because the psalmist appears to be describing the effect of the Lord’s mighty theophany on those who witness it (see vv. 5, 8). Another option is to take the prefixed form in the first line as a jussive (“let all who worship idols be ashamed”) and the ambiguous form in the third line as an imperative (“All you gods, bow down before him!”; cf. NIV).
