Psalms 104:28

104:28 You give food to them and they receive it;

you open your hand and they are filled with food. ¹ 

Psalms 107:9

107:9 For he has satisfied those who thirst, ² 

and those who hunger he has filled with food. ³ 

Psalms 132:15

132:15 I will abundantly supply what she needs; ⁴ 

I will give her poor all the food they need. ⁵ 

Job 38:27

38:27 to satisfy a devastated and desolate land,

and to cause it to sprout with vegetation? ⁶ 

[104:28]  ¹ tn Heb “they are satisfied [with] good.”

[107:9]  ² tn Heb “[the] longing throat.” The noun נֶפֶשׁ (nefesh), which frequently refers to one’s very being or soul, here probably refers to one’s parched “throat” (note the parallelism with נֶפֱשׁ רְעֵבָה, nefesh rÿ’evah, “hungry throat”).

[107:9]  ³ tn Heb “and [the] hungry throat he has filled [with] good.”

[132:15]  ⁴ tn Heb “I will greatly bless her provision.” The infinitive absolute is used to emphasize the verb.

[132:15]  ⁵ tn Heb “her poor I will satisfy [with] food.”

[38:27]  ⁶ tn Heb “to cause to sprout a source of vegetation.” The word מֹצָא (motsa’) is rendered “mine” in Job 28:1. The suggestion with the least changes is Wright’s: צָמֵא (tsame’, “thirsty”). But others choose מִצִּיָּה (mitsiyyah, “from the steppe”).
