Psalms 50:16-21

Context

50:16 God says this to the evildoer: 1 

“How can you declare my commands,

and talk about my covenant? 2 

50:17 For you hate instruction

and reject my words. 3 

50:18 When you see a thief, you join him; 4 

you associate with men who are unfaithful to their wives. 5 

50:19 You do damage with words, 6 

and use your tongue to deceive. 7 

50:20 You plot against your brother; 8 

you slander your own brother. 9 

50:21 When you did these things, I was silent, 10 

so you thought I was exactly like you. 11 

But now I will condemn 12  you

and state my case against you! 13 

Matthew 23:3-12

Context
23:3 Therefore pay attention to what they tell you and do it. But do not do what they do, for they do not practice what they teach. 14  23:4 They 15  tie up heavy loads, hard to carry, and put them on men’s shoulders, but they themselves are not willing even to lift a finger to move them. 23:5 They 16  do all their deeds to be seen by people, for they make their phylacteries 17  wide and their tassels 18  long. 23:6 They 19  love the place of honor at banquets and the best seats in the synagogues 20  23:7 and elaborate greetings 21  in the marketplaces, and to have people call them ‘Rabbi.’ 23:8 But you are not to be called ‘Rabbi,’ for you have one Teacher and you are all brothers. 23:9 And call no one your ‘father’ on earth, for you have one Father, who is in heaven. 23:10 Nor are you to be called ‘teacher,’ for you have one teacher, the Christ. 22  23:11 The 23  greatest among you will be your servant. 23:12 And whoever exalts himself will be humbled, and whoever humbles himself will be exalted.

Conduct Consistent with Sound Teaching

In your teaching show integrity, dignity,

[50:16]  1 tn Heb “evil [one].” The singular adjective is used here in a representative sense; it refers to those within the larger covenant community who have blatantly violated the Lord’s commandments. In the psalms the “wicked” (רְשָׁעִים, rÿshaim) are typically proud, practical atheists (Ps 10:2, 4, 11) who hate God’s commands, commit sinful deeds, speak lies and slander, and cheat others (Ps 37:21).

[50:16]  2 tn Heb “What to you to declare my commands and lift up my covenant upon your mouth?” The rhetorical question expresses sarcastic amazement. The Lord is shocked that such evildoers would give lip-service to his covenantal demands, for their lifestyle is completely opposed to his standards (see vv. 18-20).

[50:17]  3 tn Heb “and throw my words behind you.”

[50:18]  4 tn Heb “you run with him.”

[50:18]  5 tn Heb “and with adulterers [is] your portion.”

[50:19]  6 tn Heb “your mouth you send with evil.”

[50:19]  7 tn Heb “and your tongue binds together [i.e., “frames”] deceit.”

[50:20]  8 tn Heb “you sit, against your brother you speak.” To “sit” and “speak” against someone implies plotting against that person (see Ps 119:23).

[50:20]  9 tn Heb “against the son of your mother you give a fault.”

[50:21]  10 tn Heb “these things you did and I was silent.” Some interpret the second clause (“and I was silent”) as a rhetorical question expecting a negative answer, “[When you do these things], should I keep silent?” (cf. NEB). See GKC 335 §112.cc.

[50:21]  11 tn The Hebrew infinitive construct (הֱיוֹת, heyot) appears to function like the infinitive absolute here, adding emphasis to the following finite verbal form (אֶהְיֶה, ’ehyeh). See GKC 339-40 §113.a. Some prefer to emend הֱיוֹת (heyot) to the infinitive absolute form הָיוֹ (hayo).

[50:21]  12 tn Or “rebuke” (see v. 8).

[50:21]  13 tn Heb “and I will set in order [my case against you] to your eyes.” The cohortative form expresses the Lord’s resolve to accuse and judge the wicked.

[23:3]  14 tn Grk “for they say and do not do.”

[23:4]  15 tn Here δέ (de) has not been translated.

[23:5]  16 tn Here δέ (de) has not been translated.

[23:5]  17 sn Phylacteries were small leather cases containing OT scripture verses, worn on the arm and forehead by Jews, especially when praying. The custom was derived from such OT passages as Exod 13:9; 16; Deut 6:8; 11:18.

[23:5]  18 tn The term κράσπεδον (kraspedon) in some contexts could refer to the outer fringe of the garment (possibly in Mark 6:56). This edge could have been plain or decorated. L&N 6.180 states, “In Mt 23:5 κράσπεδον denotes the tassels worn at the four corners of the outer garment (see 6.194).”

[23:6]  19 tn Here δέ (de) has not been translated.

[23:6]  20 sn See the note on synagogues in 4:23.

[23:7]  21 sn There is later Jewish material in the Talmud that spells out such greetings in detail. See H. Windisch, TDNT 1:498.

[23:10]  22 tn Or “Messiah”; both “Christ” (Greek) and “Messiah” (Hebrew and Aramaic) mean “one who has been anointed.”

[23:11]  23 tn Here δέ (de) has not been translated.

[4:23]  24 tn Grk “And he”; the referent (Jesus) has been specified in the translation for clarity. Here καί (kai) has not been translated because of differences between Greek and English style.

[4:23]  25 sn The proverb Physician, heal yourself! means that Jesus should prove his claims. It is a “Prove it to us!” mentality that Jesus says the people have.

[4:23]  26 sn The remark “What we have heard that you did at Capernaum” makes many suspect that Luke has moved this event forward in sequence to typify what Jesus’ ministry was like, since the ministry in Capernaum follows in vv. 31-44. The location of this event in the parallel of Mark 6:1-6 also suggests this transposition.

[11:46]  27 tn Grk “he”; the referent (Jesus) has been specified in the translation for clarity.

[11:46]  28 tn Grk “said.”

[11:46]  29 tn Here “as well” is used to translate καί (kai) at the beginning of the statement.

[11:46]  30 tn Grk “men.” This is a generic use of ἄνθρωπος (anqrwpo"), referring to both males and females.

[11:46]  31 tn Grk “you yourselves do not touch.” This could mean one of two things: (1) Either they make others do what they themselves do not (through various technical exceptions) or (2) they make no effort to help the others fulfill what they are required to do. Considering the care these religious figures are said to have given to the law, the second option is more likely (see L&N 18.11).

[12:47]  32 tn Here δέ (de) has not been translated.

[12:47]  33 tn Grk “or do according to his will”; the referent (the master) has been specified in the translation for clarity. This example deals with the slave who knew what the command was and yet failed to complete it.

[19:22]  34 tn Grk “He”; the referent (the nobleman of v. 12, now a king) has been specified in the translation for clarity.

[19:22]  35 tn Grk “out of your own mouth” (an idiom).

[19:22]  36 tn Note the contrast between this slave, described as “wicked,” and the slave in v. 17, described as “good.”

[19:22]  37 tn Or “exacting,” “harsh,” “hard.”

[19:1]  38 tn Grk “And entering, he passed through”; the referent (Jesus) has been specified in the translation for clarity. Here καί (kai) has not been translated because of differences between Greek and English style.

[19:1]  39 map For location see Map5 B2; Map6 E1; Map7 E1; Map8 E3; Map10 A2; Map11 A1.

[1:27]  40 tn The genitive noun τῆς δόξης (ths doxhs) is an attributive genitive and has therefore been translated as “glorious riches.”

[6:13]  41 tn Or “boast about you in external matters,” “in the outward rite” (cf. v. 12).

[2:1]  42 tn Grk “say what is fitting for sound teaching” (introducing the behavior called for in this chapter.).

[2:2]  43 tn Or “sensible.”

[2:2]  44 sn Temperate…in endurance. See the same cluster of virtues in 1 Thess 1:3 and 1 Cor 13:13.

[2:4]  45 tn Grk “that they may train” (continuing the sentence of 2:3).

[2:4]  46 tn This verb, σωφρονίζω (swfronizw), denotes teaching in the sense of bringing people to their senses, showing what sound thinking is.

[2:5]  47 tn Or “sensible.”

[2:5]  48 tn Grk “domestic,” “keeping house.”

[2:5]  49 tn Or “word.”

[2:5]  50 tn Or “slandered.”

[2:6]  51 tn Or “sensible.”
