Psalms 37:28

Context

37:28 For the Lord promotes 1  justice,

and never abandons 2  his faithful followers.

They are permanently secure, 3 

but the children 4  of evil men are wiped out. 5 

1 tn Heb “loves.” The verb “loves” is here metonymic; the Lord’s commitment to principles of justice causes him to actively promote these principles as he governs the world. The active participle describes characteristic behavior.

2 tn The imperfect verbal form draws attention to this generalizing statement.

3 tn Or “protected forever.”

4 tn Or “offspring”; Heb “seed.”

5 tn Or “cut off”; or “removed.” The perfect verbal forms in v. 28b state general truths.
