74:18 Remember how 1 the enemy hurls insults, O Lord, 2
and how a foolish nation blasphemes your name!
74:21 Do not let the afflicted be turned back in shame!
Let the oppressed and poor praise your name! 3
[74:18] 1 tn Heb “remember this.”
[74:18] 2 tn Or “[how] the enemy insults the Lord.”
[74:21] 3 sn Let the oppressed and poor praise your name! The statement is metonymic. The point is this: May the oppressed be delivered from their enemies! Then they will have ample reason to praise God’s name.
