Ulangan 4:31

4:31 (for he ¹  is a merciful God), he will not let you down ²  or destroy you, for he cannot ³  forget the covenant with your ancestors that he confirmed by oath to them.

Mazmur 86:15

86:15 But you, O Lord, are a compassionate and merciful God.

You are patient ⁴  and demonstrate great loyal love and faithfulness. ⁵ 

[4:31]  ¹ tn Heb “the Lord your God.” See note on “he” in 4:3.

[4:31]  ² tn Heb “he will not drop you,” i.e., “will not abandon you” (cf. NAB, NIV, NRSV, NLT).

[4:31]  ³ tn Or “will not.” The translation understands the imperfect verbal form to have an added nuance of capability here.

[86:15]  ⁴ tn Heb “slow to anger.”

[86:15]  ⁵ tn Heb “and great of loyal love and faithfulness.”

[86:15]  sn The psalmist’s confession of faith in this verse echoes Exod 34:6.
