NETBible

Indeed, God is mighty; and he does not despise people,¹ he² is mighty, and firm³ in his intent.⁴

NET Notes

¹tn The object “people” is not in the Hebrew text but is implied.

²tn The text simply repeats “mighty.”

³tn The last two words are simply כֹּחַ לֵב (koakh lev, “strong in heart”), meaning something like “strong; firm in his decisions.”

⁴tc There are several problems in this verse: the repetition of “mighty,” the lack of an object for “despise,” and the meaning of “strength of heart.” Many commentators reduce the verse to a single line, reading something like “Lo, God does not reject the pure in heart” (Kissane). Dhorme and Pope follow Nichols with: “Lo, God is mighty in strength, and rejects not the pure in heart.” This reading moved “mighty” to the first line and took the second to be בַּר (bar, “pure”).
