Psalm 111/Notes/Lexical.V. 4.115061
From Psalms: Layer by Layer
- "He has caused his wonders to be remembered" (NIV, cf. ESV, NLT; so HALOT) >> "the Lord God is famous for his wonderful deeds" (CEV).
- The phrase merciful and compassionate (חַנּוּן וְרַחוּם; cf. Joel 2:13; Jonah 4:2; Pss. 111:4; 112:4; 145:8; Neh. 9:17, 31; 2 Chron. 30:9) or, in the opposite order, רַחוּם וְחַנּוּן (Ex. 34:6; Pss. 86:15; 103:8) occurs frequently in the OT, and the two words occur far more often together than they do apart.
