Mazmur 78:54

78:54 He brought them to the border of his holy land,

to this mountainous land ¹  which his right hand ²  acquired.

Yesaya 1:26

1:26 I will reestablish honest judges as in former times,

wise advisers as in earlier days. ³ 

Then you will be called, ‘The Just City,

Faithful Town.’”

[78:54]  ¹ tn Heb “this mountain.” The whole land of Canaan seems to be referred to here. In Exod 15:17 the promised land is called the “mountain of your [i.e., God’s] inheritance.”

[78:54]  ² tn The “right hand” here symbolizes God’s military strength (see v. 55).

[1:26]  ³ tn Heb “I will restore your judges as in the beginning; and your counselors as in the beginning.” In this context, where social injustice and legal corruption are denounced (see v. 23), the “judges” are probably government officials responsible for making legal decisions, while the “advisers” are probably officials who helped the king establish policies. Both offices are also mentioned in 3:2.
