26:1 At that time 1 this song will be sung in the land of Judah:
“We have a strong city!
The Lord’s 2 deliverance, like walls and a rampart, makes it secure. 3
30:29 You will sing
as you do in the evening when you are celebrating a festival.
You will be happy like one who plays a flute
as he goes to the mountain of the Lord, the Rock who shelters Israel. 4
1 tn Heb “In that day” (so KJV).
2 tn Heb “his”; the referent (the Lord) has been specified in the translation for clarity.
3 tn Heb “deliverance he makes walls and a rampart.”
4 tn Heb “[you will have] joy of heart, like the one going with a flute to enter the mountain of the Lord to the Rock of Israel.” The image here is not a foundational rock, but a rocky cliff where people could hide for protection (for example, the fortress of Masada).
