Psalms 37:3

Context

37:3 Trust in the Lord and do what is right!

Settle in the land and maintain your integrity! 1 

Psalms 37:27

Context

37:27 Turn away from evil! Do what is right! 2 

Then you will enjoy lasting security. 3 

1 tn Heb “tend integrity.” The verb רָעָה (raah, “tend, shepherd”) is probably used here in the sense of “watch over, guard.” The noun אֱמוּנָה (’emunah, “faithfulness, honesty, integrity”) is understood as the direct object of the verb, though it could be taken as an adverbial accusative, “[feed] securely,” if the audience is likened to a flock of sheep.

2 tn Or “Do good!” The imperatives are singular (see v. 1).

3 tn Heb “and dwell permanently.” The imperative with vav (ו) is best taken here as a result clause after the preceding imperatives.
