Mazmur 50:10-12

50:10 For every wild animal in the forest belongs to me,

as well as the cattle that graze on a thousand hills. ¹ 

50:11 I keep track of ²  every bird in the hills,

and the insects ³  of the field are mine.

50:12 Even if I were hungry, I would not tell you,

for the world and all it contains belong to me.

Yesaya 42:5

42:5 This is what the true God, ⁴  the Lord, says –

the one who created the sky and stretched it out,

the one who fashioned the earth and everything that lives on it, ⁵ 

the one who gives breath to the people on it,

and life to those who live on it: ⁶ 

[50:10]  ¹ tn Heb “[the] animals on a thousand hills.” The words “that graze” are supplied in the translation for clarification. The term בְּהֵמוֹה (bÿhemot, “animal”) refers here to cattle (see Ps 104:14).

[50:11]  ² tn Heb “I know.”

[50:11]  ³ tn The precise referent of the Hebrew word, which occurs only here and in Ps 80:13, is uncertain. Aramaic, Arabic and Akkadian cognates refer to insects, such as locusts or crickets.

[42:5]  ⁴ tn Heb “the God.” The definite article here indicates distinctiveness or uniqueness.

[42:5]  ⁵ tn Heb “and its offspring” (so NASB); NIV “all that comes out of it.”

[42:5]  ⁶ tn Heb “and spirit [i.e., “breath”] to the ones walking in it” (NAB, NASB, and NRSV all similar).
