[6:15]  ¹ tn Heb “On the seventh day they rose early, when the dawn ascended.”

[6:15]  ² tn Heb “and they went around the city according to this manner seven times, only on that day they went around the city seven times.”

[6:1]  ³ map For location see Map5 B2; Map6 E1; Map7 E1; Map8 E3; Map10 A2; Map11 A1.

[6:1]  ⁴ tn Heb “was shutting and shut up.” HALOT 2:743 paraphrases, “blocking [any way of access] and blocked [against any who would leave].”

[6:1]  ⁵ tn Heb “there was no one going out and there was no one coming in.”

[10:16]  ⁶ tn Heb “the Lord is king forever and ever.”

[10:16]  ⁷ tn Or “the nations perish from his land.” The perfect verb form may express what is typical or it may express rhetorically the psalmist’s certitude that God’s deliverance is “as good as done.”

[10:16]  sn The nations may be the underlying reality behind the psalmist’s references to the “wicked” in the earlier verses. This reference to the nations may have motivated the combining of Ps 10 with Ps 9 (see Ps 9:5, 15, 19).
