Construct forms regularly link the noun to God: in 2 Samuel 22:3 the APB places it in a sequence of protective images and follows with rescue from violence; in Psalm 25:5 it accompanies waiting for God; and in Psalm 79:9 it stands within a plea for help and deliverance. Absolute forms show the same benefit as something brought forth or bestowed: in Isaiah 45:8 the APB renders the earth as bringing forth "salvation," while Isaiah 61:10 describes garments of "salvation."
In the Anselm Project Bible: The APB commonly uses "salvation" where the clause's contribution is clear, including Isaiah 45:8, Isaiah 61:10, and Habakkuk 3:13. In several other verses it presents the larger prayer, praise, or rescue context without isolating a matching English token.
