1 Tawarikh 16:36

16:36 May the Lord God of Israel be praised,

in the future and forevermore. ¹ 

Then all the people said, “We agree! ²  Praise the Lord!”

Lukas 1:68

1:68 “Blessed ³  be the Lord God of Israel,

because he has come to help ⁴  and has redeemed ⁵  his people.

[16:36]  ¹ tn Heb “from everlasting to everlasting.”

[16:36]  ² tn This is the Hebrew term אָמֵן (’amen, “surely”), traditionally transliterated “amen.”

[1:68]  ³ sn The traditional name of this psalm, the “Benedictus,” comes from the Latin wording of the start of the hymn (“Blessed be…”).

[1:68]  ⁴ sn The verb come to help can refer to a visit, but can also connote concern or assistance (L&N 85.11).

[1:68]  ⁵ tn Or “has delivered”; Grk “has accomplished redemption.”

[1:68]  sn Has redeemed is a reference to redemption, but it anticipates the total release into salvation that the full work of Messiah will bring for Israel. This involves both spiritual and material benefits eventually.
