Mazmur 69:36

69:36 The descendants of his servants will inherit it,

and those who are loyal to him ¹  will live in it. ² 

Yesaya 44:26

44:26 who fulfills the oracles of his prophetic servants ³ 

and brings to pass the announcements ⁴  of his messengers,

who says about Jerusalem, ⁵  ‘She will be inhabited,’

and about the towns of Judah, ‘They will be rebuilt,

her ruins I will raise up,’

[69:36]  ¹ tn Heb “the lovers of his name.” The phrase refers to those who are loyal to God (cf. v. 35). See Pss 5:11; 119:132; Isa 56:6.

[69:36]  ² sn Verses 35-36 appear to be an addition to the psalm from the time of the exile. The earlier lament reflects an individual’s situation, while these verses seem to reflect a communal application of it.

[44:26]  ³ tn Heb “the word of his servant.” The following context indicates that the Lord’s prophets are in view.

[44:26]  ⁴ tn Heb “counsel.” The Hebrew term עֵצָה (’etsah) probably refers here to the divine plan as announced by the prophets. See HALOT 867 s.v. I עֵצָה.
