Nehemia 9:24

9:24 Their descendants ¹  entered and possessed the land. You subdued before them the Canaanites who were the inhabitants of the land. You delivered them into their hand, together with their kings and the peoples of the land, to deal with as they pleased.

Mazmur 18:48

18:48 He delivers me ²  from my enemies;

you snatch me away ³  from those who attack me; ⁴ 

you rescue me from violent men.

[9:24]  ¹ tn Heb “the sons.”

[18:48]  ² tn Heb “[the one who] delivers me.” 2 Sam 22:49 reads “and [the one who] brings me out.”

[18:48]  ³ tn Heb “lifts me up.” In light of the preceding and following references to deliverance, the verb רום probably here refers to being rescued from danger (see Ps 9:13). However, it could mean “exalt, elevate” here, indicating that the Lord has given the psalmist victory over his enemies and forced them to acknowledge the psalmist’s superiority (cf. NIV, NRSV).

[18:48]  ⁴ tn Heb “from those who rise against me.”
