Psalms 33:5

33:5 The Lord promotes ¹  equity and justice;

the Lord’s faithfulness extends throughout the earth. ² 

Psalms 104:13

104:13 He waters the mountains from the upper rooms of his palace; ³ 

the earth is full of the fruit you cause to grow. ⁴ 

Psalms 145:9

145:9 The Lord is good to all,

and has compassion on all he has made. ⁵ 

[33:5]  ¹ tn Heb “loves.” The verb “loves” is here metonymic; the Lord’s commitment to principles of equity and justice causes him to actively promote these principles as he governs the world.

[33:5]  ² tn Heb “fills the earth.”

[104:13]  ³ tn Heb “from his upper rooms.”

[104:13]  ⁴ tn Heb “from the fruit of your works the earth is full.” The translation assumes that “fruit” is literal here. If “fruit” is understood more abstractly as “product; result,” then one could translate, “the earth flourishes as a result of your deeds” (cf. NIV, NRSV, REB).

[145:9]  ⁵ tn Heb “and his compassion is over all his works.”
