[22:10]  ¹ tn Heb “upon you I was cast from [the] womb.”

[22:10]  ² tn Heb “from the womb of my mother you [have been] my God.”

[22:10]  sn Despite the enemies’ taunts, the psalmist is certain of his relationship with God, which began from the time of his birth (from the time I came out of my mother’s womb).

[25:15]  ³ tn Heb “my eyes continually [are] toward the Lord.”

[25:15]  ⁴ tn Heb “for he will bring out from a net my feet.” The hostility of the psalmist’s enemies is probably in view (see v. 19).

[78:65]  ⁵ tn Heb “and the master awoke like one sleeping.” The Lord’s apparent inactivity during the time of judgment is compared to sleep.

[78:65]  ⁶ tn Heb “like a warrior overcome with wine.” The Hebrew verb רוּן (run, “overcome”) occurs only here in the OT. The phrase “overcome with wine” could picture a drunken warrior controlled by his emotions and passions (as in the present translation), or it could refer to a warrior who awakes from a drunken stupor.

[96:2]  ⁷ tn Heb “announce from day to day his deliverance.”

[109:15]  ⁸ tn Heb “may they [that is, the sins mentioned in v. 14] be before the Lord continually.”

[109:15]  ⁹ tn Heb “their memory.” The plural pronominal suffix probably refers back to the children mentioned in v. 13, and for clarity this has been specified in the translation.

[110:2]  ¹⁰ tn Since the Lord is mentioned in the third person (note the use of the first person in v. 1), it is likely that these are the psalmist’s words to the king, not a continuation of the oracle per se.

[110:2]  ¹¹ tn The prefixed verbal form is understood here as descriptive-dramatic or as generalizing, though it could be taken as future.

[110:2]  ¹² tn Heb “your strong scepter,” symbolic of the king’s royal authority and dominion.

[119:21]  ¹³ tn Heb “accursed.” The traditional punctuation of the Hebrew text takes “accursed” with the previous line (“arrogant, accursed ones”), but it is preferable to take it with the second line as the predicate of the statement.

[119:51]  ¹⁴ tn Heb “scoff at me to excess.”

[119:155]  ¹⁵ tn Heb “far from the wicked [is] deliverance.”

[119:157]  ¹⁶ tn Heb “many [are] those who chase me and my enemies.”
