Note for v. 34

  • "Loyalty" and "faithfulness" are metonymies for "covenant" (cf. "covenant" in v. 35a). In Lev 26:44, for example, the object of the verb "annul" (הָפֵר) is "covenant," and in Ps 44:18, the object of the verb "deal falsely" (שִׁקַּרְנוּ) is also "covenant."

Phrasal Notes for this diagram

Note for v. 34

  • On the prepositional phrase "from [being] with him" (מֵעִמּוֹ), cf. v. 25, where YHWH promised that his loyalty would always be "with him" (עִמּוֹ).
  • The bet preposition in the phrase בֶּאֱמוּנָתִי is a bet of "social contact" (Jenni 1992, rubric 263). With the verb שׁקר (piel), it can indicate the person or thing with whom/which someone deals falsely (cf. Ps 44:18—וְלֹֽא־שִׁ֝קַּ֗רְנוּ בִּבְרִיתֶֽךָ)
