Psalms 69:33

69:33 For the Lord listens to the needy;

he does not despise his captive people. ¹ 

Psalms 78:25

78:25 Man ate the food of the mighty ones. ² 

He sent them more than enough to eat. ³ 

[69:33]  ¹ tn Heb “his prisoners he does not despise.”

[78:25]  ² sn Because of the reference to “heaven” in the preceding verse, it is likely that mighty ones refers here to the angels of heaven. The LXX translates “angels” here, as do a number of modern translations (NEB, NIV, NRSV).

[78:25]  ³ tn Heb “provision he sent to them to satisfaction.”
