Mazmur 37:25

37:25 I was once young, now I am old.

I have never seen a godly man abandoned,

or his children ¹  forced to search for food. ² 

Mazmur 107:42

107:42 When the godly see this, they rejoice,

and every sinner ³  shuts his mouth.

[37:25]  ¹ tn Or “offspring”; Heb “seed.”

[37:25]  ² tn Heb “or his offspring searching for food.” The expression “search for food” also appears in Lam 1:11, where Jerusalem’s refugees are forced to search for food and to trade their valuable possessions for something to eat.

[107:42]  ³ tn Heb “all evil,” which stands metonymically for those who do evil.
