2 Chronicles 30:13

30:13 A huge crowd assembled in Jerusalem to observe the Feast of Unleavened Bread in the second month. ¹ 

Psalms 40:9-10

40:9 I have told the great assembly ²  about your justice. ³ 

Look! I spare no words! ⁴ 

O Lord, you know this is true.

40:10 I have not failed to tell about your justice; ⁵ 

I spoke about your reliability and deliverance;

I have not neglected to tell the great assembly about your loyal love and faithfulness. ⁶ 

¹ tn The Hebrew text adds here, “a very large assembly.” This has not been translated to avoid redundancy with the expression “a huge crowd” at the beginning of the verse.

² sn The great assembly is also mentioned in Pss 22:25 and 35:18.

³ tn Heb “I proclaim justice in the great assembly.” Though “justice” appears without a pronoun here, the Lord’s just acts are in view (see v. 10). His “justice” (צֶדֶק, tsedeq) is here the deliverance that originates in his justice; he protects and vindicates the one whose cause is just.

⁴ tn Heb “Look! My lips I do not restrain.”

⁵ tn Heb “your justice I have not hidden in the midst of my heart.”

⁶ tn Heb “I have not hidden your loyal love and reliability.”
