Mazmur 30:7

30:7 O Lord, in your good favor you made me secure. ¹ 

Then you rejected me ²  and I was terrified.

Yesaya 32:9

The Lord Will Give True Security

32:9 You complacent ³  women,

get up and listen to me!

You carefree ⁴  daughters,

pay attention to what I say!

[30:7]  ¹ tn Heb “in your good favor you caused to stand for my mountain strength.” Apparently this means “you established strength for my mountain” (“mountain” in this case representing his rule, which would be centered on Mt. Zion) or “you established strength as my mountain” (“mountain” in this case being a metaphor for security).

[30:7]  ² tn Heb “you hid your face.” The idiom “hide the face” can mean “ignore” (see Pss 10:11; 13:1; 51:9) or, as here, carry the stronger idea of “reject” (see Ps 88:14).

[32:9]  ³ tn Or “self-assured”; NASB, NRSV “who are at ease.”

[32:9]  ⁴ tn Or “self-confident”; NAB “overconfident.”
