106 TH. BOOIJ As the strength of the king loves justice, you have established equity; in Jacob you have brought about justice and righteousness. Lomanstraat 32-B TH. BOOIJ 1075 RC Amsterdam The Netherlands SUMMARY In Psalm 99,4 the first stich is a circumstantial clause expressing causality relative to the clause following it. Verse 4 means to say that YHWH’s royal power is exercised in establishing justice, as is shown by his acts in Israel. A syntax identical with that of the first line in Ps 99,4 can be found in Gen 50,20; Ezek 2,4a; Hab 1,10; Ps 40,18a. © Gregorian Biblical Press 2012 - Tutti i diritti riservati
