Psalms 50:2

Context

50:2 From Zion, the most beautiful of all places, 1 

God comes in splendor. 2 

Psalms 82:6

Context

82:6 I thought, 3  ‘You are gods;

all of you are sons of the Most High.’ 4 

1 tn Heb “the perfection of beauty.”

2 tn Or “shines forth.”

sn Comes in splendor. The psalmist may allude ironically to Deut 33:2, where God “shines forth” from Sinai and comes to superintend Moses’ blessing of the tribes.

3 tn Heb “said.”

4 sn Normally in the OT the title Most High belongs to the God of Israel, but in this context, where the mythological overtones are so strong, it probably refers to the Canaanite high god El (see v. 1, as well as Isa 14:13).
