[66:5]  ² tn Or “acts” (see Ps 46:8).

[66:5]  ³ tn Heb “awesome [is] an act toward the sons of man.” It is unclear how the prepositional phrase relates to what precedes. If collocated with “act,” it may mean “on behalf of” or “toward.” If taken with “awesome” (see 1 Chr 16:25; Pss 89:7; 96:4; Zeph 2:11), one might translate “his awesome acts are beyond human comprehension” or “his awesome acts are superior to anything men can do.”

[78:22]  ⁴ tn Heb “and they did not trust his deliverance.”

[78:32]  ⁵ tn Heb “and did not believe in his amazing deeds.”
