[34:3]  ¹ tn Or “exalt.”

[66:5]  ² tn Or “see.”

[66:5]  ³ tn Or “acts” (see Ps 46:8).

[66:5]  ⁴ tn Heb “awesome [is] an act toward the sons of man.” It is unclear how the prepositional phrase relates to what precedes. If collocated with “act,” it may mean “on behalf of” or “toward.” If taken with “awesome” (see 1 Chr 16:25; Pss 89:7; 96:4; Zeph 2:11), one might translate “his awesome acts are beyond human comprehension” or “his awesome acts are superior to anything men can do.”

[71:11]  ⁵ tn Heb “saying.”

[83:12]  ⁶ tn The translation assumes that “Zebah and Zalmunna” are the antecedents of the relative pronoun (“who [said]”). Another option is to take “their nobles…all their rulers” as the antecedent and to translate, “those who say.”

[83:12]  ⁷ tn Heb “let’s take possession for ourselves.”

[95:2]  ⁸ tn Heb “meet his face.”

[95:2]  ⁹ tn Heb “with songs of joy.”

[118:24]  ¹⁰ tn Heb “this is the day the Lord has made.” Though sometimes applied in a general way, this statement in its context refers to the day of deliverance which the psalmist and people celebrate.
