1 Tawarikh 17:25-26

17:25 for you, my God, have revealed to your servant that you will build a dynasty ¹  for him. That is why your servant has had the courage to pray to you. ²  17:26 Now, O Lord, you are the true God; ³  you have made this good promise to your servant. ⁴ 

Mazmur 10:17

10:17 Lord, you have heard ⁵  the request ⁶  of the oppressed;

you make them feel secure because you listen to their prayer. ⁷ 

[17:25]  ¹ tn Heb “house.”

[17:25]  ² tn Heb “That is why your servant found to pray before you.” Perhaps the phrase אֶת לִבּוֹ (’et libbo, “his heart”) should be supplied as the object of the verb “found.”

[17:26]  ³ tn Heb “the God.” The article indicates uniqueness here.

[17:26]  ⁴ tn Heb “and you have spoken to your servant this good thing.”

[10:17]  ⁵ sn You have heard. The psalmist is confident that God has responded positively to his earlier petitions for divine intervention. The psalmist apparently prayed the words of vv. 16-18 after the reception of an oracle of deliverance (given in response to the confident petition of vv. 12-15) or after the Lord actually delivered him from his enemies.

[10:17]  ⁶ tn Heb “desire.”

[10:17]  ⁷ tn Heb “you make firm their heart, you cause your ear to listen.”
