98:2 The Lord demonstrates his power to deliver; ¹ 

in the sight of the nations he reveals his justice.

Mazmur 106:10

106:10 He delivered them from the power ²  of the one who hated them,

and rescued ³  them from the power ⁴  of the enemy.

Mazmur 118:14

118:14 The Lord gives me strength and protects me; ⁶ 

he has become my deliverer.” ⁷ 

[98:2]  ¹ tn Heb “makes known his deliverance.”

[106:10]  ² tn Heb “hand.”

[106:10]  ³ tn Or “redeemed.”

[106:10]  ⁴ tn Heb “hand.”

[106:8]  ⁵ tn Heb “his name,” which here stands metonymically for God’s reputation.

[118:14]  ⁶ tn Heb “my strength and protection [is] the Lord.” The Hebrew term זִמְרָת (zimrat) is traditionally understood as meaning “song” (“my strength and song [is] the Lord”) in which case one might translate, “for the Lord gives me strength and joy” (i.e., a reason to sing). However, many recent commentators have argued that the noun זִמְרָת is here a homonym, meaning “protection” or “strength.” See HALOT 274 s.v.; cf. NEB “The Lord is my refuge and defence”; NRSV “my strength and my might.”

[118:14]  ⁷ tn Or “salvation.”
