The Key Word — פּוֹדֶ֣ה, po.Dehgenerated
The word פּוֹדֶ֣ה (po.Deh) is a participle from the root פָּדָה (padah), which means to ransom or redeem. It conveys the action of paying a price to set someone free, often in a spiritual context where God redeems His people from sin or danger.
In this verse, it signifies God's active role in rescuing His servants, emphasizing His protective nature. The use of the participle form indicates an ongoing action, reinforcing the idea that redemption is a continuous aspect of God's relationship with His faithful.
How Translations Differ — measured against the Berean Standard Biblegenerated
This study reads the verse in the Berean Standard Bible, so the BSB is the wording every comparison below is made against.
Sentence Structuregenerated
The finite verb פּוֹדֶ֣ה governs the structure of the verse, establishing the main action of redemption. The subject יְ֭הוָה (Yahweh) is clearly identified as the one performing this action, while the phrase עֲבָדָ֑יו (His servants) acts as the object receiving the action.
Following this, a negative clause introduced by וְלֹ֥א (and not) leads into the consequences for those who do not trust in the LORD, creating a clear contrast between the redeemed and the condemned.
Septuagint Backgroundgenerated
In the Septuagint, the Hebrew פּוֹדֶ֣ה is rendered as ἀπολύει (apolyei), meaning 'releases' or 'frees.' This choice emphasizes the act of liberation rather than merely redemption, suggesting a broader scope of deliverance.
The translation of יֶ֝אְשְׁמ֗וּ as ἁμαρτωλῶν (of sinners) indicates a specific focus on moral accountability, highlighting the nature of those who will face condemnation.

יְהֹוָה (ye.ho.vah) is the proper name of the God of Israel, often rendered as Jehovah or the Lord. It signifies the self-existent or eternal nature of God. The name is closely associated with the revelation to Moses in Exodus 3:12-15 and is used in conjunction with other terms to denote sacred places. Some scholars suggest it derives from a root meaning 'to bring into being.'

ov:
(1) In Anglo-Saxon, had the meaning "from," "away from" (as the strengthened form "off" has still), and was not used for genitive or possessive relations, these being expressed by special case-forms. In the Norman period, however, "of" was taken to represent the French de (a use well developed by the time of Chaucer), and in the Elizabethan period both senses of "of" were in common use. But after about 1600 the later force of the word became predominant, and in the earlier sense (which is now practically obsolete) it was replaced by other prepositions. In consequence the King James Version (and in some cases the Revised Version (British and American)) contains many uses of "of" that are no longer familiar--most of them, to be sure, causing no difficulty, but there still being a few responsible for real obscurities.
OF, preposition ov. [Gr.]
1. From or out of; proceeding from, as the cause, source, means, author or agent bestowing.

This is the primary sense, although we now say, produced by man.

gil'-ti: In addition to the general discussion under GUILT (which see), several New Testament passages demand special notice because the word "guilty" is not used in the principal sense of blameworthy, but with one of the two lesser meanings noted above which go to make up the complete idea. In 3 of these passages the King James Version renders "guilty" and the Revised Version (British and American) gives another rendering. In Mt 26:66 the King James Version, Jesus' foes declare he is "guilty of death" (enochos, "liable to"). Here "guilty" simply means the one who is legally held, and the reference is not to the blame but to the consequence. This is a true use of the word in the lower and legal sense. It does not correspond with our higher usage, and so we have it in the Revised Version (British and American) "worthy of death." So…
