Psalms 37:19

37:19 They will not be ashamed when hard times come; ¹ 

when famine comes they will have enough to eat. ² 

Psalms 104:16

104:16 The trees of the Lord ³  receive all the rain they need, ⁴ 

the cedars of Lebanon which he planted,

[37:19]  ¹ tn Heb “in a time of trouble.”

[37:19]  ² tn Heb “in days of famine they will be satisfied.”

[104:16]  ³ sn The trees of the Lord are the cedars of Lebanon (see the next line), which are viewed as special because of their great size and grandeur. The Lebanon forest was viewed elsewhere in the OT as the “garden of God” (see Ezek 31:8).

[104:16]  ⁴ tn Heb “are satisfied,” which means here that they receive abundant rain (see v. 13).
