10:7 although you know 1 that I am not guilty,
and that there is no one who can deliver 2
out of your hand?
50:22 Carefully consider this, you who reject God! 3
Otherwise I will rip you to shreds 4
and no one will be able to rescue you.
43:13 From this day forward I am he;
no one can deliver from my power; 5
I will act, and who can prevent it?”
5:8 Those survivors from Jacob will live among the nations,
in the midst of many peoples.
They will be like a lion among the animals of the forest,
like a young lion among the flocks of sheep,
which attacks when it passes through;
it rips its prey 6 and there is no one to stop it. 7
1 tn Heb עַל־דַּעְתְּךָ (’al da’tÿkha, “upon your knowledge”). The use of the preposition means basically “in addition to your knowledge,” or “in spite of your knowledge,” i.e., “notwithstanding” or “although” (see GKC 383 §119.aa, n. 2).
2 tn Heb “and there is no deliverer.”
3 tn Heb “[you who] forget God.” “Forgetting God” here means forgetting about his commandments and not respecting his moral authority.
4 sn Elsewhere in the psalms this verb is used (within a metaphorical framework) of a lion tearing its prey (see Pss 7:2; 17:12; 22:13).
5 tn Heb “hand” (so KJV, NASB, NIV, NRSV); NLT “No one can oppose what I do.”
6 tn The words “its prey” are supplied in the translation for clarification.
7 tn Heb “and there is no deliverer.”
