Psalms 28:4

28:4 Pay them back for their evil deeds!

Pay them back for what they do!

Punish them! ¹ 

Psalms 77:11

77:11 I will remember the works of the Lord.

Yes, I will remember the amazing things you did long ago! ² 

Psalms 78:7

78:7 Then they will place their confidence in God.

They will not forget the works of God,

and they will obey ³  his commands.

[28:4]  ¹ tn Heb “Give to them according to their work, and according to the evil of their deeds. According to the work of their hands give to them. Return their due to them.” The highly repetitive style reflects the psalmist’s agitated emotional state and draws attention to his yearning for justice.

[77:11]  ² tn Heb “yes, I will remember from old your wonders.”

[78:7]  ³ tn Heb “keep.”
