[19:1]  ¹ sn Psalm 19. The psalmist praises God for his self-revelation in the heavens and in the Mosaic law. The psalmist concludes with a prayer, asking the Lord to keep him from sinning and to approve of his thoughts and words.

[19:1]  ² sn God’s glory refers here to his royal majesty and power.

[19:1]  ³ tn Heb “and the work of his hands the sky declares.” The participles emphasize the ongoing testimony of the heavens/sky.

[111:2]  ⁴ tn Heb “sought out.”

[22:12]  ⁵ tn This reading preserves the text as it is. The nouns “high” and “heavens” would then be taken as adverbial accusatives of place (see GKC 373-74 §118.g).

[22:12]  ⁶ tn The parallel passage in Isa 40:26-27, as well as the context here, shows that the imperative is to be retained here. The LXX has “he sees.”

[22:12]  ⁷ tn Heb “head of the stars.”

[36:24]  ⁸ tn The expression is “that you extol,” serving as an object of the verb.

[1:20]  ⁹ tn Grk “they”; the referent (people) has been specified in the translation for clarity.
