Psalms 40:9

Context

40:9 I have told the great assembly 1  about your justice. 2 

Look! I spare no words! 3 

O Lord, you know this is true.

Psalms 78:50

Context

78:50 He sent his anger in full force; 4 

he did not spare them from death;

he handed their lives over to destruction. 5 

1 sn The great assembly is also mentioned in Pss 22:25 and 35:18.

2 tn Heb “I proclaim justice in the great assembly.” Though “justice” appears without a pronoun here, the Lord’s just acts are in view (see v. 10). His “justice” (צֶדֶק, tsedeq) is here the deliverance that originates in his justice; he protects and vindicates the one whose cause is just.

3 tn Heb “Look! My lips I do not restrain.”

4 tn Heb “he leveled a path for his anger.” There were no obstacles to impede its progress; it moved swiftly and destructively.

5 tn Or perhaps “[the] plague.”
