[59:16]  ¹ tn Or “my elevated place” (see Ps 18:2).

[59:16]  ² tn Heb “and my shelter in the day of my distress.”

[71:14]  ³ tn Heb “and I add to all your praise.”

[118:25]  ⁴ sn A petition for deliverance and success seems odd in a psalm thanking God for deliverance, but it is not unique (see Ps 9:19-20). The people ask God to continue to intervene for them as he has for the psalmist.

[119:22]  ⁵ tn Heb “roll away from upon me.” Some derive the imperatival form גַּל (gal) from גָּלָה (galah, “uncover,” as in v. 18), but here the form is from גָּלַל (galal, “roll”; see Josh 5:9, where חֶרְפָּה [kherpah, “shame; reproach”] also appears as object of the verb). Some, following the lead of a Dead Sea scroll (11QPs^a), emend the form to גֹּל (gol).

[119:24]  ⁶ 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.

[119:36]  ⁷ tn Heb “turn my heart to your rules.”

[119:36]  ⁸ tn Heb “and not unjust gain.”

[119:46]  ⁹ tn The series of four cohortatives with prefixed vav (ו) conjunctive in vv. 46-48 list further consequences of the anticipated positive divine response to the request made in v. 43.

[119:138]  ¹⁰ tn Heb “you commanded [in] justice your rules.”
