[112:3]  ¹ tn Heb “stands forever.”

[112:9]  ² tn Heb “he scatters, he gives.”

[112:9]  ³ tn Heb “stands forever.”

[112:9]  ⁴ tn Heb “his horn will be lifted up in honor.” The horn of an ox underlies the metaphor (see Deut 33:17; 1 Kgs 22:11; Ps 92:10). The horn of the wild ox is frequently a metaphor for military strength; the idiom “exalt/lift up the horn” signifies military victory (see 1 Sam 2:10; Pss 89:17, 24; 92:10; Lam 2:17).

[119:142]  ⁵ tn Heb “your justice [is] justice forever.”

[119:142]  ⁶ tn Or “truth.”
