Mazmur 105:7-11

105:7 He is the Lord our God;

he carries out judgment throughout the earth. ¹ 

105:8 He always remembers his covenantal decree,

the promise he made ²  to a thousand generations –

105:9 the promise ³  he made to Abraham,

the promise he made by oath to Isaac!

105:10 He gave it to Jacob as a decree,

to Israel as a lasting promise, ⁴ 

105:11 saying, “To you I will give the land of Canaan

as the portion of your inheritance.”

[105:7]  ¹ tn Heb “in all the earth [are] his judgments.”

[105:8]  ² tn Heb “[the] word he commanded.” The text refers here to God’s unconditional covenantal promise to Abraham and the patriarchs, as vv. 10-12 make clear.

[105:9]  ³ tn Heb “which.”

[105:10]  ⁴ tn Or “eternal covenant.”
