Footnotes

  1. 57 Heb “The mouth of the godly [one] utters wisdom, and his tongue speaks justice.” The singular form is used in a representative sense; the typical godly individual is in view. The imperfect verbal forms draw attention to the characteristic behavior of the godly.
  2. 58 Heb “the law of his God [is] in his heart.” The “heart” is here the seat of one’s thoughts and motives.
  3. 59 Heb “his.” The pronoun has been translated as plural to agree with the representative or typical “godly” in v. 30.
