SIL Open Translator’s Notes:

Section 7:1–7: Micah lamented about the wickedness of God’s people

This section is a lament of Micah that expresses his sorrow about the lack of righteous people in the land. In 7:1–6, he talked about the wickedness of the people using a combination of figures of speech and direct speech. In 7:7, he concluded the lament by expressing his own hope in the LORD.

Some scholars and versions place 7:7 in the next section. However, expressions of both sorrow and hope are features in some other laments, such as in the Psalms.Psalm 55 is one example. NICOT (pages 383–385). Also, both 7:1 and 7:7 have first-person pronouns and verbs that enclose third-person descriptions in 7:2–6. This change of word forms probably indicates the start and end of the lament.UBS (pages 244–256).

Here are some other examples of section headings:

The Total Corruption of the People (NRSV)

Israel’s Misery (NIV)

Misery Turned to Hope (NLT)

7:7a–c

But as for me, I will look to the LORD; I will wait for the God of my salvation. My God will hear me.

7:7a

But as for me: In this part of the lament the tone/mood changes from negative to positive.NICOT (page 389) notes that the change from general pessimism to personal optimism is typical of the lament form. This phrase introduces a strong contrast between the unfaithful people and Micah’s own hope in the LORD.NAC (pages 124–125) and Waltke 2007 (page 429).

Here are some ways to translate this clause:

I will look to the LORD: In this clause part, Micah indicated that he expected the LORD to fulfill his promises to the people of Israel and had faith that he would do so.TWOT #1950 states that the word expresses the posture of faith. Also, NAC, EBC, and TOTC.

Here are some other ways to translate this clause part:

I will look to the Lord for help (NCV)

I will watch for the Lord (GNT)

I will keep watching for the Lord (NET)

I will wait for the God of my salvation: In this clause part, Micah indicated that he had confidence that God would save him. In Hebrew, the word wait has a form that means “to be committed/resolved to wait.”NAC (page 125) describes the verb form as a “cohortative of resolve,” meaning “I am resolved to wait for God my Savior to act.”

The phrase God of my salvation is a title that describes God as the savior/deliverer. In some languages it may be more natural to translate the title in a different way. For example:

I will wait for God to save me (NCV)

I will put my trust in God my savior (NAB)

God: In this title, the Hebrew word for God is a form of elohim and not Yahweh. Some versions translate as God instead of “LORD.” Use your general term for God here.

7:7c

My God will hear me: In this clause part, Micah indicated his certainty that God would hear his prayer. The phrase My God indicates a close relationship with God. Again, the Hebrew word for God is a form of elohim here.

Here are some ways to translate this clause part:

uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

General Information:

In verse 8 Micah begins speaking as if he were one woman speaking to her enemy, another woman. This is perhaps the daughter of Zion ([Micah 1:13](../01/13.md)), who represents the people of Israel, speaking to the “daughter of soldiers” ([Micah 5:1](../05/01.md)), who represents the nations which attacked Israel.

(Occurrence 0) But as for me

(Some words not found in UHB: and,I for,Yahweh look wait for,the_God_of my_salvation_of,my he,will_hear_me God_of,my )

Here “me” refers to Micah.

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / abstractnouns

(Occurrence 0) I will wait for the God of my salvation

(Some words not found in UHB: and,I for,Yahweh look wait for,the_God_of my_salvation_of,my he,will_hear_me God_of,my )

If your language does not use an abstract noun for the idea behind the word salvation, you can express the same idea with a verbal form. Alternate translation: “I will wait for the God who saves me” or “I will wait for God, who saves me”

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / metonymy

(Occurrence 0) will hear me

(Some words not found in UHB: and,I for,Yahweh look wait for,the_God_of my_salvation_of,my he,will_hear_me God_of,my )

The word “hear” represents hearing and acting. Alternate translation: “will act to help me”

TSN Tyndale Study Notes:

7:1-20 Hopeless deception and corruption permeated God’s people (7:1-6); God’s mercy, however, would triumph and Israel would be restored (7:11-13). God’s mercy, compassion, and unfailing love would prevail (7:14-20). Micah mourned his people’s condition and looked to the Lord for help (7:7-10).
