[21:12]  ¹ tn Heb “you make them a shoulder,” i.e., “you make them turn and run, showing the back of their neck and shoulders.”

[21:12]  ² tn Heb “with your bowstrings you fix against their faces,” i.e., “you fix your arrows on the bowstrings to shoot at them.”

[69:19]  ³ tn Heb “before you [are] all my enemies.”

[86:13]  ⁴ tn Heb “for your loyal love [is] great over me.”

[86:13]  ⁵ tn Or “for he will have delivered my life.” The verb form indicates a future perfect here.

[86:13]  ⁶ tn Or “lower Sheol.”

[99:4]  ⁷ tn Heb “and strength, a king, justice he loves.” The syntax of the Hebrew text is difficult here. The translation assumes that two affirmations are made about the king, the Lord (see v. 1, and Ps 98:6). The noun עֹז (’oz, “strength”) should probably be revocalized as the adjective עַז (’az, “strong”).

[99:4]  ⁸ tn Heb “you establish fairness.”
