1:49 because he who is mighty 1 has done great things for me, and holy is his name;
1:50 from 2 generation to generation he is merciful 3 to those who fear 4 him.
1 tn Traditionally, “the Mighty One.”
2 tn Grk “and from.” Here καί (kai) has been translated by a semicolon to improve the English style.
3 sn God’s mercy refers to his “loyal love” or “steadfast love,” expressed in faithful actions, as the rest of the psalm illustrates.
4 tn That is, “who revere.” This refers to those who show God a reverential respect for his sovereignty.
