[19:11]  ¹ tn Heb “moreover your servant is warned by them.”

[19:11]  ² tn Heb “in the keeping of them [there is] a great reward.”

[37:11]  ³ tn Heb “and they will take delight in (see v. 4) abundance of peace.”

[61:6]  ⁴ tn Heb “days upon days of the king add, his years like generation and generation.”

[61:6]  sn It is not certain if the (royal) psalmist is referring to himself in the third person in this verse, or if an exile is praying on behalf of the king.

[107:30]  ⁵ tn Heb “they”; the referent (the sailors) has been specified in the translation for clarity.

[107:30]  ⁶ tn Heb “they”; the referent (the waves) has been specified in the translation for clarity.

[107:30]  ⁷ tn The Hebrew noun occurs only here in the OT.

[112:2]  ⁸ tn Or “offspring”; Heb “seed.”

[112:2]  ⁹ tn Heb “His seed will be mighty on the earth, the generation of the godly.” The Hebrew term דוֹר (dor, “generation”) could be taken as parallel to “offspring” and translated “posterity,” but the singular more likely refers to the godly as a class. See BDB 189-90 s.v. for other examples where “generation” refers to a class of people.

[119:17]  ¹⁰ tn The prefixed verbal form is probably a cohortative indicating purpose/result after the preceding imperative.

[119:17]  ¹¹ tn The cohortative with vav (ו) conjunctive indicates purpose/result after the imperative that begins the verse.

[119:17]  ¹² tn Heb “your word.” Many medieval Hebrew mss as well as several ancient versions read the plural here.

[134:3]  ¹³ tn The pronominal suffix is second masculine singular, suggesting that the servants addressed in vv. 1-2 are responding to the psalmist.

[134:3]  ¹⁴ tn Heb “may the Lord bless you from Zion, the maker of heaven and earth.”
