NETBible

For the Lord promotes¹ justice, and never abandons² his faithful followers. They are permanently secure,³ but the children⁴ of evil men are wiped out.⁵

NET Notes

¹tn Heb “loves.” The verb “loves” is here metonymic; the Lord’s commitment to principles of justice causes him to actively promote these principles as he governs the world. The active participle describes characteristic behavior.

²tn The imperfect verbal form draws attention to this generalizing statement.

³tn Or “protected forever.”

⁴tn Or “offspring”; Heb “seed.”

⁵tn Or “cut off”; or “removed.” The perfect verbal forms in v. 28b state general truths.
