[34:12]  ¹ tn Heb “Who is the man who desires life?” The rhetorical question is used to grab the audience’s attention. “Life” probably refers here to quality of life, not just physical existence or even duration of life. See the following line.

[34:12]  ² tn Heb “[Who] loves days to see good?”

[35:28]  ³ tn Heb “and my tongue will proclaim your justice.”

[35:28]  ⁴ tn Heb “all the day your praise.” The verb “proclaim” is understood by ellipsis in the second line (see the previous line).

[71:8]  ⁵ tn Heb “my mouth is filled [with] your praise, all the day [with] your splendor.”

[88:17]  ⁶ tn Heb “they encircle me together.”

[119:105]  ⁷ tn Many medieval Hebrew mss read the plural (“words”).

[119:105]  ⁸ tn Heb “[is] a lamp for my foot and a light for my path.”

[91:16]  ⁹ tn Heb “length of days.”
