[32:3]  ¹ tn Heb “when I was silent.”

[32:3]  ² tn Heb “my bones became brittle.” The psalmist pictures himself as aging and growing physically weak. Trying to cover up his sin brought severe physical consequences.

[33:20]  ³ tn Or “our lives.” The suffixed form of נֶפֶשׁ (nefesh, “being, life”) is often equivalent to a pronoun in poetic texts.

[33:20]  ⁴ tn Or “[source of] help.”

[33:20]  ⁵ tn Or “protector.”

[37:22]  ⁶ tn The particle כִּי is best understood as asseverative or emphatic here.

[37:22]  ⁷ tn Heb “those blessed by him.” The pronoun “him” must refer to the Lord (see vv. 20, 23), so the referent has been specified in the translation for clarity.

[37:22]  ⁸ tn Heb “cursed.”

[37:22]  ⁹ tn Or “cut off”; or “removed” (see v. 9).

[91:3]  ¹⁰ tn The word refers specifically to a fowler (or hunter of birds).

[95:4]  ¹¹ tn The phrase “in his hand” means within the sphere of his authority.

[116:8]  ¹² tn Or “for.”

[116:8]  ¹³ tn “Lord” is supplied here in the translation for clarification.

[119:24]  ¹⁴ tn Heb “men of my counsel.” That is, God’s rules are like advisers to the psalmist, for they teach him how to live in a godly manner that refutes the accusations of his enemies.

[119:39]  ¹⁵ tn Heb “my reproach that I fear.”

[119:39]  ¹⁶ tn Or “for.”

[119:115]  ¹⁷ tn The cohortative verbal form with vav (ו) conjunctive indicates purpose/result after the preceding imperative.

[119:115]  ¹⁸ tn The psalmist has already declared that he observes God’s commands despite persecution, so here the idea must be “so that I might observe the commands of my God unhindered by threats.”

[136:13]  ¹⁹ tn Or “cut.”

[136:13]  ²⁰ tn Heb “Reed Sea” (also in v. 15). “Reed Sea” (or “Sea of Reeds”) is a more accurate rendering of the Hebrew expression יָם סוּף (yam suf), traditionally translated “Red Sea.” See the note on the term “Red Sea” in Exod 13:18.

[136:13]  ²¹ tn Heb “into pieces.”

[136:15]  ²² tn Or “shook off.”

[136:23]  ²³ tn Heb “who, in our low condition, remembered us.”
