Daniel 3:28

3:28 Nebuchadnezzar exclaimed, ⁷  “Praised be the God of Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego, who has sent forth his angel ⁸  and has rescued his servants who trusted in him, ignoring ⁹  the edict of the king and giving up their bodies rather than ¹⁰  serve or pay homage to any god other than their God!

Daniel 6:23

6:23 Then the king was delighted and gave an order to haul Daniel up from the den. So Daniel was hauled up out of the den. He had no injury of any kind, because he had trusted in his God.

Matthew 27:43

27:43 He trusts in God – let God, if he wants to, deliver him now ¹¹  because he said, ‘I am God’s Son’!”

[5:20]  ¹ tn Heb “and they were helped against them and they were given over into their hand, the Hagrites and all who were with them, for to God they cried out in the battle and he was entreated [or “allowed himself to be entreated”] by them for they trusted in him.”

[5:2]  ² tn Heb “and [one] for a leader [was] from him.” This probably refers to the Davidic king.

[1:8]  ³ tn That is, “Egypt.”

[84:12]  ⁴ tn Traditionally “Lord of hosts.”

[84:12]  ⁵ tn Heb “[Oh] the happiness [of] the man [who] trusts in you.” Hebrew literature often assumes and reflects the male-oriented perspective of ancient Israelite society. The principle stated here is certainly applicable to all people, regardless of their gender or age. To facilitate modern application, we translate the gender and age specific “man” with the plural “those.” The individual referred to here is representative of all followers of God, as the use of the plural form in v. 12b indicates.

[17:7]  ⁶ tn Heb “Blessed is the person who trusts in the Lord, and whose confidence is in the Lord.” However, because this is a statement of the Lord and the translation chooses to show that the blessing comes from him, the first person is substituted for the divine name.

[3:28]  ⁷ tn Aram “answered and said.”

[3:28]  ⁸ sn The king identifies the “son of the gods” (v. 25) as an angel. Comparable Hebrew expressions are used elsewhere in the Hebrew Bible for the members of God’s angelic assembly (see Gen 6:2, 4; Job 1:6; 2:1; 38:7; Pss 29:1; 89:6). An angel later comes to rescue Daniel from the lions (Dan 6:22).

[3:28]  ⁹ tn Aram “they changed” or “violated.”

[3:28]  ¹⁰ tn Aram “so that they might not.”

[27:43]  ¹¹ sn An allusion to Ps 22:8.
