Kejadian 9:15

9:15 then I will remember my covenant with you ¹  and with all living creatures of all kinds. ²  Never again will the waters become a flood and destroy ³  all living things. ⁴ 

Mazmur 105:8

105:8 He always remembers his covenantal decree,

the promise he made ⁵  to a thousand generations –

Lukas 1:72

1:72 He has done this ⁶  to show mercy ⁷  to our ancestors, ⁸ 

and to remember his holy covenant ⁹  –

[9:15]  ¹ tn Heb “which [is] between me and between you.”

[9:15]  ² tn Heb “all flesh.”

[9:15]  ³ tn Heb “to destroy.”

[9:15]  ⁴ tn Heb “all flesh.”

[105:8]  ⁵ 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.

[1:72]  ⁶ tn The words “He has done this” (referring to the raising up of the horn of salvation from David’s house) are not in the Greek text, but are supplied to allow a new sentence to be started in the translation. The Greek sentence is lengthy and complex at this point, while contemporary English uses much shorter sentences.

[1:72]  ⁷ sn Mercy refers to God’s loyal love (steadfast love) by which he completes his promises. See Luke 1:50.

[1:72]  ⁸ tn Or “our forefathers”; Grk “our fathers.” This begins with the promise to Abraham (vv. 55, 73), and thus refers to many generations of ancestors.

[1:72]  ⁹ sn The promises of God can be summarized as being found in the one promise (the oath that he swore) to Abraham (Gen 12:1-3).
