Mazmur 111:7-8

111:7 His acts are characterized by ¹  faithfulness and justice;

all his precepts are reliable. ² 

111:8 They are forever firm,

and should be faithfully and properly carried out. ³ 

Zefanya 3:5

3:5 The just Lord resides ⁴  within her;

he commits no unjust acts. ⁵ 

Every morning he reveals ⁶  his justice.

At dawn he appears without fail. ⁷ 

Yet the unjust know no shame.

Kisah Para Rasul 13:10

13:10 and said, “You who are full of all deceit and all wrongdoing, ⁸  you son of the devil, you enemy of all righteousness – will you not stop making crooked the straight paths of the Lord? ⁹ 

[111:7]  ¹ tn Heb “the deeds of his hands [are].”

[111:7]  ² tn That is, fair and for man’s good.

[111:8]  ³ tn Heb “done in faithfulness and uprightness.” The passive participle probably has the force of a gerund. See L. C. Allen, Psalms 101-150 (WBC), 89.

[3:5]  ⁴ tn The word “resides” is supplied for clarification.

[3:5]  ⁵ tn Or “he does no injustice.”

[3:5]  ⁶ tn Heb “gives”; or “dispenses.”

[3:5]  ⁷ tn Heb “at the light he is not missing.” Note that NASB (which capitalizes pronouns referring to Deity) has divided the lines differently: “Every morning He brings His justice to light; // He does not fail.”

[13:10]  ⁸ tn Or “unscrupulousness.”

[13:10]  ⁹ sn “You who…paths of the Lord?” This rebuke is like ones from the OT prophets: Jer 5:27; Gen 32:11; Prov 10:7; Hos 14:9. Five separate remarks indicate the magician’s failings. The closing rhetorical question of v. 10 (“will you not stop…?”) shows how opposed he is to the way of God.
