[89:36]  ¹ tn Heb “his offspring forever will be.”

[89:36]  ² tn Heb “and his throne like the sun before me.”

[112:2]  ³ tn Or “offspring”; Heb “seed.”

[112:2]  ⁴ tn Heb “His seed will be mighty on the earth, the generation of the godly.” The Hebrew term דוֹר (dor, “generation”) could be taken as parallel to “offspring” and translated “posterity,” but the singular more likely refers to the godly as a class. See BDB 189-90 s.v. for other examples where “generation” refers to a class of people.

[112:6]  ⁵ tn Heb “for an eternal memorial a just [one] will be.”

[81:9]  ⁶ tn The imperfect verbal forms in v. 9 have a modal function, expressing what is obligatory.

[81:9]  ⁷ tn Heb “different”; “illicit.”
