107:41 Yet he protected 1 the needy from oppression,
and cared for his families like a flock of sheep.
85:13 Deliverance goes 2 before him,
and prepares 3 a pathway for him. 4
1 tn Heb “set on high.”
2 tn Or “will go.”
3 tn Or “will prepare.”
4 tn Heb “and it prepares for a way his footsteps.” Some suggest emending וְיָשֵׂם (vÿyasem, “and prepares”) to וְשָׁלוֹם (vÿshalom, “and peace”) since “deliverance” and “peace” are closely related earlier in v. 13. This could be translated, “and peace [goes ahead, making] a pathway for his footsteps” (cf. NEB).
