the Lord responds 3  when I cry out to him.

Psalms 103:17

Context

103:17 But the Lord continually shows loyal love to his faithful followers, 4 

and is faithful to their descendants, 5 

1 tn Heb “and know that.”

2 tn Heb “that the Lord sets apart a faithful one for himself.” The psalmist states a general principle, though the singular form and the parallel line indicate he has himself in mind as the representative godly person. A חָסִיד (khasid; here translated as “the godly”) is one who does what is right in God’s eyes and remains faithful to God (see Pss 12:1; 18:25; 31:23; 37:28; 86:2; 97:10).

3 tn Heb “hears.”

4 tn Heb “but the loyal love of the Lord [is] from everlasting to everlasting over those who fear him.”

5 tn Heb “and his righteousness to sons of sons.”
