Mazmur 103:17

103:17 But the Lord continually shows loyal love to his faithful followers, ¹ 

and is faithful to their descendants, ² 

1 Petrus 5:7

5:7 by casting ³  all your cares ⁴  on him because he cares for you.

[103:17]  ¹ tn Heb “but the loyal love of the Lord [is] from everlasting to everlasting over those who fear him.”

[103:17]  ² tn Heb “and his righteousness to sons of sons.”

[5:7]  ³ tn Or “throwing on”; “loading.” Some scholars take the participle to function imperativally, or as attendant circumstance – thus, “cast.” See below for discussion.

[5:7]  sn Casting. According to ExSyn 630, “Although treated as an independent command in several modern translations (e.g., RSV, NRSV, NIV), the participle [casting] should be connected with the verb of v 6, ταπεινώθητε [tapeinwqhte, Humble yourselves]. As such, it is not offering a new command, but is defining how believers are to humble themselves. Taking the participle as means enriches the understanding of both verbs: Humbling oneself is not a negative act of self-denial per se, but a positive one of active dependence on God for help.”

[5:7]  ⁴ tn Or “anxiety, burden,” but using a word from the same root as the verb “cares” in the last part of the verse.
