Mazmur 9:10

9:10 Your loyal followers trust in you, ¹ 

for you, Lord, do not abandon those who seek your help. ² 

Mazmur 34:4

34:4 I sought the Lord’s help ³  and he answered me;

he delivered me from all my fears.

Mazmur 106:23

106:23 He threatened ⁴  to destroy them,

but ⁵  Moses, his chosen one, interceded with him ⁶ 

and turned back his destructive anger. ⁷ 

[9:10]  ¹ tn Heb “and the ones who know your name trust in you.” The construction vav (ו) conjunctive + imperfect at the beginning of the verse expresses another consequence of the statement made in v. 8. “To know” the Lord’s “name” means to be his follower, recognizing his authority and maintaining loyalty to him. See Ps 91:14, where “knowing” the Lord’s “name” is associated with loving him.

[9:10]  ² tn Heb “the ones who seek you.”

[34:4]  ³ tn Heb “I sought the Lord.”

[106:23]  ⁴ tn Heb “and he said.”

[106:23]  ⁵ tn Heb “if not,” that is, “[and would have] if [Moses] had not.”

[106:23]  ⁶ tn Heb “stood in the gap before him.”

[106:23]  ⁷ tn Heb “to turn back his anger from destroying.”

[106:23]  sn Verses 19-23 describe the events of Exod 32:1-35.
