22:31 They will come and tell about his saving deeds; 1
they will tell a future generation what he has accomplished. 2
98:2 The Lord demonstrates his power to deliver; 3
in the sight of the nations he reveals his justice.
112:9 He generously gives 4 to the needy;
his integrity endures. 5
He will be vindicated and honored. 6
1 tn Heb “his righteousness.” Here the noun צִדָקָה (tsidaqah) refers to the Lord’s saving deeds whereby he vindicates the oppressed.
2 tn Heb “to a people [to be] born that he has acted.” The words “they will tell” are supplied in the translation for stylistic reasons.
3 tn Heb “makes known his deliverance.”
5 tn Heb “he scatters, he gives.”
6 tn Heb “stands forever.”
7 tn Heb “his horn will be lifted up in honor.” The horn of an ox underlies the metaphor (see Deut 33:17; 1 Kgs 22:11; Ps 92:10). The horn of the wild ox is frequently a metaphor for military strength; the idiom “exalt/lift up the horn” signifies military victory (see 1 Sam 2:10; Pss 89:17, 24; 92:10; Lam 2:17).
