Luke 19:37

19:37 As he approached the road leading down from ²⁸  the Mount of Olives, ²⁹  the whole crowd of his ³⁰  disciples began to rejoice ³¹  and praise ³²  God with a loud voice for all the mighty works ³³  they had seen: ³⁴ 

[32:11]  ¹ tn Heb “all [you] pure of heart.” The “heart” is here viewed as the seat of one’s moral character and motives. The “pure of heart” are God’s faithful followers who trust in and love the Lord and, as a result, experience his deliverance (see Pss 7:10; 11:2; 36:10; 64:10; 94:15; 97:11).

[47:1]  ² sn Psalm 47. In this hymn the covenant community praises the Lord as the exalted king of the earth who has given them victory over the nations and a land in which to live.

[47:1]  ³ tn Heb “Shout to God with [the] sound of a ringing cry!”

[47:5]  ⁴ sn God ascended his throne. In the context of vv. 3-4, which refer to the conquest of the land under Joshua, v. 5 is best understood as referring to an historical event. When the Lord conquered the land and placed his people in it, he assumed a position of kingship, as predicted by Moses (see Exod 15:17-18, as well as Ps 114:1-2). That event is here described metaphorically in terms of a typical coronation ceremony for an earthly king (see 2 Sam 15:10; 2 Kgs 9:13). Verses 1-2, 8-9 focus on God’s continuing kingship, which extends over all nations.

[47:5]  ⁵ tn Heb “God ascended amid a shout.” The words “his throne” are supplied in the translation for clarification. The Lord’s coronation as king is described here (see v. 8). Here the perfect probably has a present perfect function, indicating a completed action with continuing effects.

[47:5]  ⁶ tn Heb “the Lord amid the sound of the ram horn.” The verb “ascended” is understood by ellipsis; see the preceding line.

[66:1]  ⁷ sn Psalm 66. The psalmist praises God because he has delivered his people from a crisis.

[66:4]  ⁸ tn Or “bows down to.” The prefixed verbal forms in v. 4 are taken (1) as imperfects expressing what is typical. Another option (2) is to interpret them as anticipatory (“all the earth will worship you”) or (3) take them as jussives, expressing a prayer or wish (“may all the earth worship you”).

[95:1]  ⁹ sn Psalm 95. The psalmist summons Israel to praise God as the creator of the world and the nation’s protector, but he also reminds the people not to rebel against God.

[95:1]  ¹⁰ tn Heb “to the rocky summit of our deliverance.”

[95:2]  ¹¹ tn Heb “meet his face.”

[95:2]  ¹² tn Heb “with songs of joy.”

[24:14]  ¹³ sn The remnant of the nations (see v. 13) may be the unspecified subject. If so, then those who have survived the judgment begin to praise God.

[24:14]  ¹⁴ tn Heb “they yell out concerning.”

[24:15]  ¹⁵ tc The Hebrew text reads literally, “in the lights,” interpreted by some to mean “in the region of light,” referring to the east. Some scholars have suggested the emendation of בָּאֻרִים (ba’urim) to בְּאִיֵּי הַיָּם (bÿ’iyyey hayyam, “along the seacoasts”), a phrase that is repeated in the next line. In this case, the two lines form synonymous parallelism. If one retains the MT reading (as above), “in the east” and “along the seacoasts” depict the two ends of the earth to refer to all the earth (as a merism).

[24:15]  ¹⁶ tn The word “extol” is supplied in the translation; the verb in the first line does double duty in the parallelism.

[24:15]  ¹⁷ tn Heb “name,” which here stands for God’s reputation achieved by his mighty deeds.

[24:16]  ¹⁸ sn The identity of the subject is unclear. Apparently in vv. 15-16a an unidentified group responds to the praise they hear in the west by exhorting others to participate.

[24:16]  ¹⁹ tn Heb “Beauty belongs to the just one.” These words may summarize the main theme of the songs mentioned in the preceding line.

[24:16]  ²⁰ sn The prophet seems to contradict what he hears the group saying. Their words are premature because more destruction is coming.

[24:16]  ²¹ tn Heb “and [with] deception deceivers deceive.”

[42:10]  ²² tn Heb “his praise.” The phrase stands parallel to “new song” in the previous line.

[42:10]  ²³ tn Heb “and its fullness”; NASB, NIV “and all that is in it.”

[42:10]  ²⁴ tn Or “islands” (NASB, NIV); NLT “distant coastlands.”

[42:12]  ²⁵ tn Heb “Let them ascribe to the Lord glory.”

[42:12]  ²⁶ tn Heb “and his praise in the coastlands [or “islands”] let them declare.”

[3:14]  ²⁷ sn This phrase is used as an epithet for the city and the nation. “Daughter” may seem extraneous in English but consciously joins the various epithets and metaphors of Israel and Jerusalem as a woman, a device used to evoke sympathy from the reader.

[19:37]  ²⁸ tn Grk “the descent of”; this could refer to either the slope of the hillside itself or the path leading down from it (the second option has been adopted for the translation, see L&N 15.109).

[19:37]  ²⁹ sn See the note on the name Mount of Olives in v. 29.

[19:37]  ³⁰ tn Grk “the”; the Greek article has been translated here as a possessive pronoun (ExSyn 215).

[19:37]  ³¹ tn Here the participle χαίροντες (caironte") has been translated as a finite verb in English; it could also be translated adverbially as a participle of manner: “began to praise God joyfully.”

[19:37]  ³² sn See 2:13, 20; Acts 2:47; 3:8-9.

[19:37]  ³³ tn Or “works of power,” “miracles.” Jesus’ ministry of miracles is what has drawn attention. See Luke 7:22.

[19:37]  ³⁴ tn Grk “they had seen, saying.” The participle λέγοντες (legontes) is redundant in contemporary English and has not been translated.
