Psalms 44:8

Context

Psalms 64:10

Context

64:10 The godly will rejoice in the Lord

and take shelter in him.

All the morally upright 1  will boast. 2 

Psalms 97:7

Context

97:7 All who worship idols are ashamed,

those who boast about worthless idols.

All the gods bow down before him. 3 

1 tn Heb “upright in heart.”

2 tn That is, about the Lord’s accomplishments on their behalf.

3 tn The translation assumes that the prefixed verbal form in the first line is an imperfect (“are ashamed”) and that the ambiguous form in the third line is a perfect (“bow down”) because the psalmist appears to be describing the effect of the Lord’s mighty theophany on those who witness it (see vv. 5, 8). Another option is to take the prefixed form in the first line as a jussive (“let all who worship idols be ashamed”) and the ambiguous form in the third line as an imperative (“All you gods, bow down before him!”; cf. NIV).
