he delivered them from their troubles.

Yesaya 25:9

25:9 At that time they will say, ⁶ 

“Look, here ⁷  is our God!

We waited for him and he delivered us.

Here ⁸  is the Lord! We waited for him.

Let’s rejoice and celebrate his deliverance!”

Yoel 2:32

2:32 It will so happen that

everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be delivered. ⁹

the remnant ¹²  will be those whom the Lord will call. ¹³ 

[14:30]  ¹ tn The Hebrew term וַיּוֹשַׁע (vayyosha’) is the key summation of the chapter, and this part of the book: “So Yahweh saved Israel.” This is the culmination of all the powerful works of God through these chapters.

[14:30]  ² tn Heb “the hand,” with “hand” being a metonymy for power.

[14:30]  ³ tn The participle “dead” is singular, agreeing in form with “Egypt.”

[80:4]  ⁴ tn Heb “Lord, God, hosts.” One expects the construct form אֱלֹהֵי (’elohey) before צְבָאוֹת (tsÿva’ot; “hosts”; see Ps 89:9), but יְהוָה אֱלֹהִים (yehvah ’elohim) precedes צְבָאוֹת (tsÿva’ot) in Pss 59:5 and 84:8 as well. In this context the term “hosts” (meaning “armies”) has been rendered “invincible warrior.”

[80:4]  ⁵ tn Heb “How long will you remain angry during the prayer of your people.” Some take the preposition -בְּ (bet) in an adversative sense here (“at/against the prayer of your people”), but the temporal sense is preferable. The psalmist expects persistent prayer to pacify God.

[25:9]  ⁶ tn Heb “and one will say in that day.”

[25:9]  ⁷ tn Heb “this [one].”

[25:9]  ⁸ tn Heb “this [one].”

[2:32]  ⁹ tn While a number of English versions render this as “saved” (e.g., NIV, NRSV, NLT), this can suggest a “spiritual” or “theological” salvation rather than the physical deliverance from the cataclysmic events of the day of the Lord described in the context.

[2:32]  ¹¹ tn Heb “deliverance”; or “escape.” The abstract noun “deliverance” or “escape” probably functions here as an example of antimeria, referring to those who experience deliverance or escape with their lives: “escaped remnant” or “surviving remnant” (Gen 32:8; 45:7; Judg 21:17; 2 Kgs 19:30, 31; Isa 4:2; 10:20; 15:9; 37:31, 32; Ezek 14:22; Obad 1:17; Ezra 9:8, 13-15; Neh 1:2; 1 Chr 4:43; 2 Chr 30:6).

[2:32]  ¹² tn Heb “and among the remnant.”

[2:32]  ¹³ tn The participle used in the Hebrew text seems to indicate action in the imminent future.
