Mazmur 22:27

22:27 Let all the people of the earth acknowledge the Lord and turn to him! ¹ 

Let all the nations ²  worship you! ³ 

Mazmur 63:6

63:6 whenever ⁴  I remember you on my bed,

and think about you during the nighttime hours.

Yesaya 58:11

58:11 The Lord will continually lead you;

he will feed you even in parched regions. ⁵ 

He will give you renewed strength, ⁶ 

and you will be like a well-watered garden,

like a spring that continually produces water.

Matius 5:6

5:6 “Blessed are those who hunger ⁷  and thirst for righteousness, for they will be satisfied.

Lukas 1:53

1:53 he has filled the hungry with good things, ⁸  and has sent the rich away empty. ⁹ 

[22:27]  ¹ tn Heb “may all the ends of the earth remember and turn to the Lord.” The prefixed verbal forms in v. 27 are understood as jussives (cf. NEB). Another option (cf. NIV, NRSV) is to take the forms as imperfects and translate, “all the people of the earth will acknowledge and turn…and worship.” See vv. 29-32.

[22:27]  ² tn Heb “families of the nations.”

[22:27]  ³ tn Heb “before you.”

[63:6]  ⁴ tn The Hebrew term אִם (’im) is used here in the sense of “when; whenever,” as in Ps 78:34.

[58:11]  ⁵ tn Heb “he will satisfy in parched regions your appetite.”

[58:11]  ⁶ tn Heb “and your bones he will strengthen.”

[5:6]  ⁷ sn Those who hunger are people like the poor Jesus has already mentioned. The term has OT roots both in conjunction with the poor (Isa 32:6-7; 58:6-7, 9-10; Ezek 18:7, 16) or by itself (Ps 37:16-19; 107:9).

[1:53]  ⁸ sn Good things refers not merely to material blessings, but blessings that come from knowing God.

[1:53]  ⁹ sn Another fundamental contrast of Luke’s is between the hungry and the rich (Luke 6:20-26).
