Mazmur 27:5

27:5 He will surely ¹  give me shelter ²  in the day of danger; ³ 

he will hide me in his home; ⁴ 

he will place me ⁵  on an inaccessible rocky summit. ⁶ 

Yesaya 28:17

28:17 I will make justice the measuring line,

fairness the plumb line;

hail will sweep away the unreliable refuge, ⁷ 

the floodwaters will overwhelm the hiding place.

[27:5]  ¹ tn Or “for he will.” The translation assumes the כִּי (ki) is asseverative here, rather than causal.

[27:5]  ² tn Heb “he will hide me in his hut.”

[27:5]  ³ tn Or “trouble.”

[27:5]  ⁴ tn Heb “tent.”

[27:5]  ⁵ tn The three imperfect verb forms in v. 5 anticipate a positive response to the prayer offered in vv. 7-12.

[27:5]  ⁶ tn Heb “on a rocky summit he lifts me up.” The Lord places the psalmist in an inaccessible place where his enemies cannot reach him. See Ps 18:2.

[28:17]  ⁷ tn Heb “[the] refuge, [the] lie.” See v. 15.
