[37:3]  ¹ tn Heb “tend integrity.” The verb רָעָה (ra’ah, “tend, shepherd”) is probably used here in the sense of “watch over, guard.” The noun אֱמוּנָה (’emunah, “faithfulness, honesty, integrity”) is understood as the direct object of the verb, though it could be taken as an adverbial accusative, “[feed] securely,” if the audience is likened to a flock of sheep.

[67:3]  ² tn Heb “let the nations, all of them, thank you.” The prefixed verbal forms in vv. 3-4a are understood as jussives in this call to praise.

[68:29]  ³ tn Heb “Be strong, O God, [you] who have acted for us, from your temple in Jerusalem.”

[83:10]  ⁴ sn Endor is not mentioned in the accounts of Gideon’s or Barak’s victories, but both battles took place in the general vicinity of the town. (See Y. Aharoni and M. Avi-Yonah, The Macmillan Bible Atlas, 46, 54.) Because Sisera and Jabin are mentioned in v. 9b, many understand them to be the subject of the verbs in v. 10, though they relate v. 10 to Gideon’s victory, which is referred to in v. 9a, 11. (See, for example, Y. Aharoni, The Land of the Bible, 263.)

[83:10]  ⁵ tn Heb “they were manure.” In addition to this passage, corpses are compared to manure in 2 Kgs 9:37; Jer 8:2; 9:21; 16:4; 25:33.

[89:29]  ⁶ tn Heb “and I will set in place forever his offspring.”

[89:29]  ⁷ tn Heb “and his throne like the days of the heavens.”

[94:1]  ⁸ sn Psalm 94. The psalmist asks God to judge the wicked and affirms his confidence in God’s justice.

[94:1]  ⁹ tn Heb “shine forth” (see Pss 50:2; 80:1).

[115:17]  ¹⁰ tn Heb “silence,” a metonymy here for death (see Ps 94:17).

[119:54]  ¹¹ tn Heb “songs were your statutes to me.”

[119:54]  ¹² tn Heb “in the house of my dwelling place.” Some take the Hebrew noun מָגוֹר (magor) in the sense of “temporary abode,” and see this as a reference to the psalmist’s status as a resident alien (see v. 19). But the noun can refer to a dwelling place in general (see Ps 55:15).

[144:13]  ¹³ tn The Hebrew noun occurs only here.

[144:13]  ¹⁴ tn Heb “from kind to kind.” Some prefer to emend the text to מָזוֹן עַל מָזוֹן (mazon ’al mazon, “food upon food”).

[144:13]  ¹⁵ tn Heb “they are innumerable.”

[144:13]  ¹⁶ tn Heb “in outside places.” Here the term refers to pastures and fields (see Job 5:10; Prov 8:26).

[147:17]  ¹⁷ tn Heb “his ice.”

[147:17]  ¹⁸ tn Heb “Before his cold, who can stand?”
