Mazmur 147:14

147:14 He ¹  brings peace to your territory. ²

Yesaya 54:14

54:14 You will be reestablished when I vindicate you. ⁴ 

You will not experience oppression; ⁵ 

indeed, you will not be afraid.

You will not be terrified, ⁶ 

for nothing frightening ⁷  will come near you.

[147:14]  ¹ tn Heb “the one who.”

[147:14]  ² tn Heb “he makes your boundary peace.”

[147:14]  ³ tn Heb “satisfies you with.”

[54:14]  ⁴ tn Heb “in righteousness [or “vindication”] you will be established.” The precise meaning of צְדָקָה (tsÿdaqah) here is uncertain. It could mean “righteousness, justice,” indicating that the city will be a center for justice. But the context focuses on deliverance, suggesting that the term means “deliverance, vindication” here.

[54:14]  ⁵ tn Heb “Be far from oppression!” The imperative is used here in a rhetorical manner to express certainty and assurance. See GKC 324 §110.c.

[54:14]  ⁶ tn Heb “from terror.” The rhetorical command, “be far” is understood by ellipsis here. Note the preceding context.

[54:14]  ⁷ tn Heb “it,” i.e., the “terror” just mentioned.
