[65:7]  ¹ tn Heb “the roar of the seas.”

[65:7]  ² sn The raging seas…the commotion made by the nations. The raging seas symbolize the turbulent nations of the earth (see Ps 46:2-3, 6; Isa 17:12).

[66:2]  ³ tn Heb “his name,” which here stands metonymically for God’s reputation.

[66:2]  ⁴ tn Heb “make honorable his praise.”

[67:7]  ⁵ tn The prefixed verb forms in vv. 6b-7a are understood as jussives.

[67:7]  ⁶ tn Heb “will fear him.” After the jussive of the preceding line, the prefixed verbal form with prefixed vav (ו) conjunctive is understood as indicating purpose/result. (Note how v. 3 anticipates the universal impact of God showing his people blessing.) Another option is to take the verb as a jussive and translate, “Let all the ends of the earth fear him.”

[96:1]  ⁷ sn Psalm 96. The psalmist summons everyone to praise the Lord, the sovereign creator of the world who preserves and promotes justice in the earth.

[96:1]  ⁸ sn A new song is appropriate because the Lord is constantly intervening in the world as its just king. See also Pss 33:3; 40:3; 98:1.

[105:7]  ⁹ tn Heb “in all the earth [are] his judgments.”

[116:9]  ¹⁰ tn Heb “walk before” (see Ps 56:13). On the meaning of the Hebrew idiom, see the notes at 2 Kgs 20:3/Isa 38:3.

[116:9]  ¹¹ tn Heb “lands, regions.”

[117:1]  ¹² sn Psalm 117. The psalmist tells the nations to praise the Lord for his loyal love and faithfulness.

[117:1]  ¹³ tn Or “peoples” (see Ps 108:3).
