Mazmur 37:22

37:22 Surely ¹  those favored by the Lord ²  will possess the land,

but those rejected ³  by him will be wiped out. ⁴ 

[37:22]  ¹ tn The particle כִּי is best understood as asseverative or emphatic here.

[37:22]  ² tn Heb “those blessed by him.” The pronoun “him” must refer to the Lord (see vv. 20, 23), so the referent has been specified in the translation for clarity.

[37:22]  ³ tn Heb “cursed.”

[37:22]  ⁴ tn Or “cut off”; or “removed” (see v. 9).
