Psalms 34:7

34:7 The Lord’s angel camps around

the Lord’s ¹  loyal followers ²  and delivers them. ³ 

Psalms 34:19

34:19 The godly ⁴  face many dangers, ⁵ 

but the Lord saves ⁶  them ⁷  from each one of them.

¹ tn Heb “his”; the referent (the Lord) has been specified in the translation for clarity.

² tn Heb “those who fear him.”

³ tn The prefixed verb with vav (ו) consecutive here carries the same generalizing force as the active participle in the first line. See GKC 329 §111.u.

⁴ tn The Hebrew text uses the singular form; the representative or typical godly person is envisioned.

⁵ tn Or “trials.”

⁶ tn The Hebrew imperfect verbal form highlights the generalizing statement and draws attention to the fact that the Lord typically delivers the godly.

⁷ tn Heb “him,” agreeing with the singular form in the preceding line.
