Psalms 124:7

124:7 We escaped with our lives, ¹  like a bird from a hunter’s snare.

The snare broke, and we escaped.

Matthew 10:23

10:23 Whenever ²  they persecute you in one place, ³  flee to another. I tell you the truth, ⁴  you will not finish going through all the towns ⁵  of Israel before the Son of Man comes.

¹ tn Heb “our life escaped.”

² tn Here δέ (de) has not been translated.

³ tn The Greek word here is πόλις (polis), which can mean either “town” or “city.”

⁴ tn Grk “For truly (ἀμήν, amhn) I say to you.” Here γάρ (gar, “for”) has not been translated.

⁵ tn The Greek word here is πόλις (polis), which can mean either “town” or “city.” “Town” was chosen here to emphasize the extensive nature of the disciples’ ministry. The same word is translated earlier in the verse as “place.”
