1 tn The imperfect verbal forms in vv. God%27s&tab=notes" ver="">26-30 draw attention to God’s characteristic actions. Based on his experience, the psalmist generalizes about God’s just dealings with people (vv. God%27s&tab=notes" ver="">26-28) and about the way in which God typically empowers him on the battlefield (vv. God%27s&tab=notes" ver="">29-30). The Hitpael stem is used in vv. God%27s&tab=notes" ver="">26-27 in a reflexive resultative (or causative) sense. God makes himself loyal, etc. in the sense that he conducts or reveals himself as such. On this use of the Hitpael stem, see GKC 149-50 §54.e. |

1 tn Heb “[As for] the God, his way is blameless.” The term הָאֵל (ha’el, “the God”) stands as a nominative (or genitive) absolute in apposition to the resumptive pronominal suffix on “way.” The prefixed article emphasizes his distinctiveness as the one true God (see BDB 42 s.v. II אֵל 6; Deut 33:26). God’s “way” in this context refers to his protective and salvific acts in fulfillment of his promise (see also Deut 32:4; Pss 67:2; 77:13 [note vv. God%27s&tab=notes" ver="">11-12, 14]; God%27s&tab=notes" ver="">103:7; 138:5; 145:17). |
