[69:21]  ¹ tn According to BDB 912 s.v. II רֹאשׁ the term can mean “a bitter and poisonous plant.”

[69:21]  ² sn John 19:28-30 appears to understand Jesus’ experience on the cross as a fulfillment of this passage (or Ps 22:15). See the study note on the word “thirsty” in John 19:28.

[78:24]  ³ sn Manna was apparently shaped like a seed (Exod 16:31), perhaps explaining why it is here compared to grain.

[145:15]  ⁴ tn Heb “the eyes of all wait for you.”

[145:15]  ⁵ tn Heb “and you give to them their food in its season” (see Ps 104:27).
