[44:23] 1 tn Heb “acts”; NASB, NRSV “has done it”; NLT “has done this wondrous thing.”
[44:23] 2 tn Heb “lower regions.” This refers to Sheol and forms a merism with “sky” in the previous line. See Pss 63:9; 71:20.
[44:23] 3 tn Heb “O forest and all the trees in it”; NASB, NRSV “and every tree in it.”
[44:23] 4 tn Heb “redeems.” See the note at 41:14.

[12:1] 7 tn The participle and two adjectives “alive, holy, and pleasing to God” are taken as predicates in relation to “sacrifice,” making the exhortation more emphatic. See ExSyn 618-19.
