Mazmur 34:6

34:6 This oppressed man cried out and the Lord heard;

he saved him ¹  from all his troubles.

Mazmur 35:10

35:10 With all my strength I will say, ² 

“O Lord, who can compare to you?

You rescue ³  the oppressed from those who try to overpower them; ⁴ 

the oppressed and needy from those who try to rob them.” ⁵ 

[34:6]  ¹ tn The pronoun refers back to “this oppressed man,” namely, the psalmist.

[35:10]  ² tn Heb “all my bones will say.”

[35:10]  ³ tn Heb “[the one who] rescues.” The substantival participle in the Hebrew text characterizes God as one who typically rescues the oppressed.

[35:10]  ⁴ tn Heb “from [the one who is] too strong for him.” The singular forms are used in a representative sense. The typical oppressed individual and typical oppressor are in view.

[35:10]  ⁵ tn Heb “the oppressed [one] and needy [one] from [the one who] robs him.” As in the previous line, the singular forms are used in a representative sense.
