Keluaran 34:9

34:9 and said, “If now I have found favor in your sight, O Lord, let my Lord ¹  go among us, for we ²  are a stiff-necked people; pardon our iniquity and our sin, and take us for your inheritance.”

Mazmur 74:2

74:2 Remember your people ³  whom you acquired in ancient times,

whom you rescued ⁴  so they could be your very own nation, ⁵ 

as well as Mount Zion, where you dwell!

[34:9]  ¹ tn The Hebrew term translated “Lord” two times here is אֲדֹנָי (’adonay).

[34:9]  ² tn Heb “it is.” Hebrew uses the third person masculine singular pronoun here in agreement with the noun “people.”

[74:2]  ³ tn Heb “your assembly,” which pictures God’s people as an assembled community.

[74:2]  ⁴ tn Heb “redeemed.” The verb “redeem” casts God in the role of a leader who protects members of his extended family in times of need and crisis (see Ps 19:14).

[74:2]  ⁵ tn Heb “the tribe of your inheritance” (see Jer 10:16; 51:19).
