TTN Tyndale Theme Notes:

Making Sense of the Exile

Israel’s kings and the people of Israel repeatedly rebelled against God and broke their covenant with him. God therefore declared that he would bring the curses of the covenant upon them (see Deut 28:15-68; cp. Jer 4:13; Amos 5:11; Mic 6:14-15). God sent the Assyrian and Babylonian armies to execute this sentence, and a large number of the Israelites were taken into exile (see 2 Kgs 24:1–25:21).

The Exile shaped many of the psalms; we see its impact working behind the scenes in various images and themes. In Psalm 89 the grief, anguish, and confusion of the Exile are distilled into several questions that the psalmist raises: Has God abandoned David’s royal line (89:38-39)? How long will God’s anger last (Ps 89:46)? Does God understand human frailty (89:47-48)? Is God true to his nature (89:49)? Is God just in not avenging his people (89:50-51)?

These questions were on the minds of God’s people during and after the Exile. Some of their doubts raise questions concerning God’s ability to rule. Rather than dismissing these questions, wise readers listen, reflect, and study the answers that Scripture gives.

The definitive answer came in the Lord Jesus Christ (see Isa 52–54; Luke 1:46-55, 67-79; 4:18-19; Rom 6:6, 16-23; Heb 12:22-24). But those who experienced the Exile could only dimly foresee a hopeful future. They asked these hard questions and lived without clear answers.

UTN uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / metonymy

The heavens praise

(Some words not found in UHB: until forever establish descendants,your and,build_up for,generation and,generation throne,your selah )

Here “heavens” represents those who are in heaven.

praise your wonders, Yahweh

(Some words not found in UHB: until forever establish descendants,your and,build_up for,generation and,generation throne,your selah )

Alternate translation: “praise you, Yahweh, because of the wonderful things you do”

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / activepassive

your truthfulness is praised in the assembly of the holy ones

(Some words not found in UHB: until forever establish descendants,your and,build_up for,generation and,generation throne,your selah )

If your language does not use an abstract noun for the idea behind the word truthfulness, you could express the same idea with a verbal form such as “you always do what you promise to do.” This can also be stated in active form. Alternate translation: “The assembly of the holy ones praises you because you always do what you promise to do”

the assembly of the holy ones

(Some words not found in UHB: until forever establish descendants,your and,build_up for,generation and,generation throne,your selah )

This refers to the angels in heaven.
