22nd January 2021 - iv) The Lord is the Righteous Judge. He sees all, He hears all, and you can't "pull the wool......" There is a judgment day to come. "evil will slay the wicked".... NLT says, "Calamity will surely slay the wicked." Again, the ref to troubles or afflictions.... "rah" translated as "calamity". whether we see it in this life or not....
v) The Lord Redeems.... Heb. "padah" which means to ransom or rescue from great harm." it was David's testimony. Rescued when surrounded by his enemies, facing a lion or bear, towered over by a loud mouthed giant... Its the same word used throughout Deuteronomy when God keeps reminding the complaining Israelites that He had "redeemed" them from Egypt. And finally there is now no condemnation for those who take refuge in Him. Romans 8 : 1
