17:8 They will be like a tree planted near a stream

Its leaves are always green.

It has no need to be concerned in a year of drought.

It does not stop bearing fruit.

[115:9]  ² tn Heb “and their shield.”

[115:10]  ³ tn Heb “house.”

[115:10]  ⁴ tn Or “[source of] help.”

[115:10]  ⁵ tn Heb “and their shield.”

[115:11]  ⁶ tn Heb “[you] fearers of the Lord.” See Ps 15:4.

[130:7]  ¹⁰ tn Heb “and abundantly with him [is] redemption.”

[17:7]  ¹¹ 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.
