Psalms 71:23

71:23 My lips will shout for joy! Yes, ¹  I will sing your praises!

I will praise you when you rescue me! ² 

Isaiah 61:10

61:10 I ³  will greatly rejoice ⁴  in the Lord;

I will be overjoyed because of my God. ⁵ 

For he clothes me in garments of deliverance;

he puts on me a robe symbolizing vindication. ⁶ 

I look like a bridegroom when he wears a turban as a priest would;

I look like a bride when she puts on her jewelry. ⁷ 

Habakkuk 3:17-18

3:17 When ⁸  the fig tree does not bud,

and there are no grapes on the vines;

when the olive trees do not produce, ⁹ 

and the fields yield no crops; ¹⁰ 

when the sheep disappear ¹¹  from the pen,

and there are no cattle in the stalls,

3:18 I will rejoice because of ¹²  the Lord;

I will be happy because of the God who delivers me!

Romans 5:11

5:11 Not ¹³  only this, but we also rejoice ¹⁴  in God through our Lord Jesus Christ, through whom we have now received this reconciliation.

[71:23]  ¹ tn Or “when.” The translation assumes that כִּי (ki) has an emphasizing (asseverative) function here.

[71:23]  ² tn Heb “and my life [or “soul”] which you will have redeemed.” The perfect verbal form functions here as a future perfect. The psalmist anticipates praising God, for God will have rescued him by that time.

[61:10]  ³ sn The speaker in vv. 10-11 is not identified, but it is likely that the personified nation (or perhaps Zion) responds here to the Lord’s promise of restoration.

[61:10]  ⁴ tn The infinitive absolute appears before the finite verb for emphasis.

[61:10]  ⁵ tn Heb “my being is happy in my God”; NAB “in my God is the joy of my soul.”

[61:10]  ⁶ tn Heb “robe of vindication”; KJV, NASB, NIV, NRSV “robe of righteousness.”

[61:10]  ⁷ tn Heb “like a bridegroom [who] acts like a priest [by wearing] a turban, and like a bride [who] wears her jewelry.” The words “I look” are supplied for stylistic reasons and clarification.

[3:17]  ⁸ tn Or “though.”

[3:17]  ⁹ tn Heb “the produce of the olive disappoints.”

[3:17]  ¹⁰ tn Heb “food.”

[3:17]  ¹¹ tn Or “are cut off.”

[3:18]  ¹² tn Or “in.”

[5:11]  ¹³ tn Here δέ (de) has not been translated because of differences between Greek and English style.

[5:11]  ¹⁴ tn Or “exult, boast.”
