Discovery BoxPsalms 111:7-9 
Context111:7 His acts are characterized by 1 faithfulness and justice;
all his precepts are reliable. 2
111:8 They are forever firm,
and should be faithfully and properly carried out. 3
111:9 He delivered his people; 4

His name is holy and awesome.
1 tn Heb “the deeds of his hands [are].”
2 tn That is, fair and for man’s good.
3 tn Heb “done in faithfulness and uprightness.” The passive participle probably has the force of a gerund. See L. C. Allen, Psalms 101-150 (WBC), 89.
4 tn Heb “redemption he sent for his people.”
5 tn Heb “he commanded forever his covenant.”
