Psalms 24:5

24:5 Such godly people are rewarded by the Lord, ¹ 

and vindicated by the God who delivers them. ² 

¹ tn Heb “he (the righteous individual described in v. 4) lifts up a blessing from the Lord.” The singular subject is representative here, as v. 6 makes clear. The referent (godly people like the individual in v. 4) has been specified in the translation for clarity. The imperfect verbal form is generalizing; such people are typically rewarded for their deeds.

² tn “and vindication from the God of his deliverance.”
