Psalms 37:9

Context

37:9 Wicked men 1  will be wiped out, 2 

but those who rely on the Lord are the ones who will possess the land. 3 

Psalms 37:22

Context

37:22 Surely 4  those favored by the Lord 5  will possess the land,

but those rejected 6  by him will be wiped out. 7 

1 tn Heb “for evil men.” The conjunction כִּי (ki, “for”) relates to the exhortations in v. 8; there is no reason to be frustrated, for the evildoers will be punished in due time.

2 tn Or “cut off, removed.”

3 tn Heb “and those who wait on the Lord, they will possess the land.”

4 tn The particle כִּי is best understood as asseverative or emphatic here.

5 tn Heb “those blessed by him.” The pronoun “him” must refer to the Lord (see vv. 20, 23), so the referent has been specified in the translation for clarity.

6 tn Heb “cursed.”

7 tn Or “cut off”; or “removed” (see v. 9).
