Mazmur 24:5

24:5 Such godly people are rewarded by the Lord, ¹ 

and vindicated by the God who delivers them. ² 

Mazmur 44:25

44:25 For we lie in the dirt,

with our bellies pressed to the ground. ³ 

Mazmur 105:44

105:44 He handed the territory of nations over to them,

and they took possession of what other peoples had produced, ⁴ 

[24:5]  ¹ tn Heb “he (the righteous individual described in v. 4) lifts up a blessing from the Lord.” The singular subject is representative here, as v. 6 makes clear. The referent (godly people like the individual in v. 4) has been specified in the translation for clarity. The imperfect verbal form is generalizing; such people are typically rewarded for their deeds.

[24:5]  ² tn “and vindication from the God of his deliverance.”

[44:25]  ³ tn Heb “for our being/life sinks down to the dirt, our belly clings to the earth.” The suffixed form of נֶפֶשׁ (nefesh, “being, life”) is often equivalent to a pronoun in poetic texts.

[105:44]  ⁴ tn Heb “and the [product of the] work of peoples they possessed.”
