Psalms 37:22

Surely ¹  those favored by the Lord ²  will possess the land, but those rejected ³  by him will be wiped out. ⁴ 

Ps 32:1; Ps 37:9,28; Ps 37:11,18; Ps 115:15; Ps 119:21; Ps 128:1; Pr 3:33; Zec 5:3,4; Mt 25:41; 1Co 16:22; Ga 3:10,13

¹ tn The particle כִּי is best understood as asseverative or emphatic here.

² tn Heb “those blessed by him.” The pronoun “him” must refer to the Lord (see vv. 20, 23), so the referent has been specified in the translation for clarity.

³ tn Heb “cursed.”

⁴ tn Or “cut off”; or “removed” (see v. 9).
