Ayub 36:24

36:24 Remember to extol ¹  his work,

which people have praised in song.

Mazmur 143:5

143:5 I recall the old days; ² 

I meditate on all you have done;

I reflect on your accomplishments. ³ 

Mazmur 15:3

15:3 He ⁴  does not slander, ⁵ 

or do harm to others, ⁶ 

or insult his neighbor. ⁷ 

[36:24]  ¹ tn The expression is “that you extol,” serving as an object of the verb.

[143:5]  ² tn Or “ancient times”; Heb “days from before.”

[143:5]  ³ tn Heb “the work of your hands.”

[15:3]  ⁴ sn Hebrew literature often assumes and reflects the male-oriented perspective of ancient Israelite society. The principle of the psalm is certainly applicable to all people, regardless of their gender or age.

[15:3]  ⁵ tn Heb “he does not slander upon his tongue.” For another example of רָגַל (ragal, “slander”) see 2 Sam 19:28.

[15:3]  ⁶ tn Or “his fellow.”

[15:3]  ⁷ tn Heb “and he does not lift up an insult against one who is near to him.”
