3:5 The just Lord resides 1 within her;
he commits no unjust acts. 2
Every morning he reveals 3 his justice.
At dawn he appears without fail. 4
Yet the unjust know no shame.
3:15 The Lord has removed the judgment against you; 5
he has turned back your enemy.
Israel’s king, the Lord, is in your midst!
You no longer need to fear disaster.
1 tn The word “resides” is supplied for clarification.
2 tn Or “he does no injustice.”
3 tn Heb “gives”; or “dispenses.”
4 tn Heb “at the light he is not missing.” Note that NASB (which capitalizes pronouns referring to Deity) has divided the lines differently: “Every morning He brings His justice to light; // He does not fail.”
5 tn Heb “your judgments,” that is, “the judgments directed against you.” The translation reflects the implications of the parallelism.
