Mazmur 111:7-9

111:7 His acts are characterized by ¹  faithfulness and justice;

all his precepts are reliable. ² 

111:8 They are forever firm,

and should be faithfully and properly carried out. ³ 

111:9 He delivered his people; ⁴ 

he ordained that his covenant be observed forever. ⁵ 

His name is holy and awesome.

[111:7]  ¹ tn Heb “the deeds of his hands [are].”

[111:7]  ² tn That is, fair and for man’s good.

[111:8]  ³ tn Heb “done in faithfulness and uprightness.” The passive participle probably has the force of a gerund. See L. C. Allen, Psalms 101-150 (WBC), 89.

[111:9]  ⁴ tn Heb “redemption he sent for his people.”

[111:9]  ⁵ tn Heb “he commanded forever his covenant.”
