TSNTyndale Study Notes:

97:11 The godly people of integrity (see Prov 2:7, 21; 3:32; 11:6, 11; 14:2), whose hearts are right, maintain a relationship with the Lord and with others (Pss 94:15; 125:4). The wicked plan the downfall of the godly (11:2), but the Lord rescues them (11:1; 36:10). Then the sorrows of the godly turn to joy and praise (32:11; 64:10; 111:1; 119:7).


UTNuW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / parallelism

(Some words not found in UHB: light sown for_the,righteous and,for,upright_of heart joy )

These two phrases have similar meanings and are used together for emphasis. Alternate translation: “Yahweh sows light for those who do right, and he sows gladness for those with honest hearts” (See also: figs-activepassive and figs-ellipsis)

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

Light is sown for the righteous

(Some words not found in UHB: light sown for_the,righteous and,for,upright_of heart joy )

The word “sown” is a metaphor for actions with future results. “Light” is a metaphor for good things. Alternate translation: “Yahweh plans for good things to happen to the righteous in the future”

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / nominaladj

the righteous

(Some words not found in UHB: light sown for_the,righteous and,for,upright_of heart joy )

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / ellipsis

gladness for those with honest hearts

(Some words not found in UHB: light sown for_the,righteous and,for,upright_of heart joy )

The words “is sown” are understood. The word “sown” is a metaphor for actions with future results. If your language does not use an abstract noun for the idea behind the word gladness, you could express the same idea with a verbal form such as “happy.” Alternate translation: “gladness is sown for those with honest hearts” or “Yahweh plans for people with honest hearts to be happy in the future” (See also: figs-metaphor and figs-abstractnouns)
