[16:3]  ¹ tn Heb “regarding the holy ones who [are] in the land, they; and the mighty [ones] in [whom is/was] all my desire.” The difficult syntax makes the meaning of the verse uncertain. The phrase “holy ones” sometimes refers to God’s angelic assembly (see Ps 89:5, 7), but the qualifying clause “who are in the land” suggests that here it refers to God’s people (Ps 34:9) or to their priestly leaders (2 Chr 35:3).

[29:2]  ² tn Heb “ascribe to the Lord the glory of his name.” The Hebrew term שֵׁם (shem, “name”) refers here to the Lord’s reputation. (The English term “name” is often used the same way.)

[29:2]  ³ tn That is, properly dressed for the occasion.

[93:5]  ⁴ tn Traditionally “your testimonies.” The Hebrew noun עֵדוּת (’edut) refers here to the demands of God’s covenant law. See Ps 19:7.

[93:5]  ⁵ sn The rules you set down. God’s covenant contains a clear, reliable witness to his moral character and demands.

[93:5]  ⁶ sn Holiness refers here to God’s royal transcendence (see vv. 1-4), as well as his moral authority and perfection (see v. 5a).

[93:5]  ⁷ tn Heb “for your house holiness is fitting, O Lord, for length of days.”

[96:9]  ⁸ tn Or “in holy splendor.”

[105:42]  ⁹ tn Or “for.”

[105:42]  ¹⁰ tn Heb “his holy word.”

[106:16]  ¹¹ tn Or “envied.”

[106:16]  ¹² tn Heb “the holy one of the Lord.”
