and never abandons53 his faithful followers.
They are permanently secure,54
Footnotes
- 52 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.
- 53 The imperfect verbal form draws attention to this generalizing statement.
- 54 Or “protected forever.”
- 55 Or “offspring”; Heb “seed.”
- 56 Or “cut off”; or “removed.” The perfect verbal forms in v. 28b state general truths.
