NETBible

So I said to the Lord, 1  “O Lord who rules over all, 2  you are a just judge! You examine people’s hearts and minds. 3  I want to see you pay them back for what they have done because I trust you to vindicate my cause.” 4 

NET Notes

tn The words “So I said to the Lord” are not in the text but are implicit from the context. They are supplied in the translation for clarity to show the shift in address.

tn Heb “Yahweh of armies.”

sn For the significance of the term see the notes at 2:19 and 7:3.

tn HebLord of armies, just judge, tester of kidneys and heart.” The sentence has been broken up to avoid a long and complex English sentence. The translation is more in keeping with contemporary English style. In Hebrew thought the “kidneys” were thought of as the seat of the emotions and passions and the “heart” was viewed as the seat of intellect, conscience, and will. The “heart” and the “kidneys” are often used figuratively for the thoughts, emotions, motives, and drives that are thought to be seated in them.

tn Heb “Let me see your retribution [i.e., see you exact retribution] from them because I reveal my cause [i.e., plea for justice] to you.”
