Mazmur 33:5

33:5 The Lord promotes ¹  equity and justice;

the Lord’s faithfulness extends throughout the earth. ² 

Mazmur 33:13-15

33:13 The Lord watches ³  from heaven;

he sees all people. ⁴ 

33:14 From the place where he lives he looks carefully

at all the earth’s inhabitants.

33:15 He is the one who forms every human heart, ⁵ 

and takes note of all their actions.

[33:5]  ¹ tn Heb “loves.” The verb “loves” is here metonymic; the Lord’s commitment to principles of equity and justice causes him to actively promote these principles as he governs the world.

[33:5]  ² tn Heb “fills the earth.”

[33:13]  ³ tn The Hebrew perfect verbal forms in v. 13 state general facts.

[33:13]  ⁴ tn Heb “all the sons of men.”

[33:15]  ⁵ tn Heb “the one who forms together their heart[s].” “Heart” here refers to human nature, composed of intellect, emotions and will. The precise force of יָחַד (yakhad, “together”) is unclear here. The point seems to be that the Lord is the creator of every human being.
