Psalm 94:18-20
New English Translation
18 If I say, “My foot is slipping,”
your loyal love, O Lord, supports me.
19 When worries threaten to overwhelm me,[a]
your soothing touch makes me happy.[b]
20 Cruel rulers[c] are not your allies,
those who make oppressive laws.[d]
Footnotes
- Psalm 94:19 tn Heb “when my worries are many within me.”
- Psalm 94:19 tn Heb “your comforts cause my soul to delight.”
- Psalm 94:20 tn Heb “a throne of destruction.” “Throne” stands here by metonymy for rulers who occupy thrones.
- Psalm 94:20 tn Heb “Is a throne of destruction united to you, one that forms trouble upon a statute?” The rhetorical question anticipates the answer, “Of course not!” The translation, while not preserving the interrogative form of the statement, reflects its rhetorical force.
