46:5 God lives within it, 1 it cannot be moved. 2
God rescues it 3 at the break of dawn. 4
90:14 Satisfy us in the morning 5 with your loyal love!
Then we will shout for joy and be happy 6 all our days!
101:8 Each morning I will destroy all the wicked people in the land,
and remove all evildoers from the city of the Lord.
1 tn Heb “God [is] within her.” The feminine singular pronoun refers to the city mentioned in v. 4.
2 tn Another option is to translate the imperfect verbal form as future, “it will not be upended.” Even if one chooses this option, the future tense must be understood in a generalizing sense. The verb מוֹט (mot), translated “upended” here, is used in v. 2 of the mountains “tumbling” into the seas and in v. 6 of nations being “upended.” By way of contrast, Jerusalem, God’s dwelling place, is secure and immune from such turmoil and destruction.
3 tn Or “helps her.” The imperfect draws attention to the generalizing character of the statement.
4 tn Heb “at the turning of morning.” (For other uses of the expression see Exod 14:27 and Judg 19:26).
5 sn Morning is used metaphorically for a time of renewed joy after affliction (see Pss 30:5; 46:5; 49:14; 59:16; 143:8).
6 tn After the imperative (see the preceding line) the cohortatives with the prefixed conjunction indicate purpose/result.
