[15:3]  ¹ tn Heb “his heart was not complete with the Lord his God, like the heart of David his father.”

[15:1]  ² tc The Old Greek also has the phrase “the son of Rehoboam.”

[12:33]  ³ tn Heb “which he had chosen by himself.”

[12:33]  ⁴ tn Heb “he”; the referent (Jeroboam) has been specified in the translation for clarity.

[12:33]  ⁵ map For location see Map4 G4; Map5 C1; Map6 E3; Map7 D1; Map8 G3.

[1:9]  ⁶ tc The ancient Greek version omits this appositional phrase.

[9:1]  ⁷ sn Psalm 9. The psalmist, probably speaking on behalf of Israel or Judah, praises God for delivering him from hostile nations. He celebrates God’s sovereignty and justice, and calls on others to join him in boasting of God’s greatness. Many Hebrew mss and the ancient Greek version (LXX) combine Psalms 9 and 10 into a single psalm.

[9:1]  ⁸ tc The meaning of the Hebrew term עַלְמוּת (’almut) is uncertain. Some mss divide the form into עַל מוּת (’al mut, “according to the death [of the son]”), while the LXX assumes a reading עֲלֻמוֹת עַל (’al ’alumot, “according to alumoth”). The phrase probably refers to a particular tune or musical style.

[9:1]  ⁹ tn The cohortative forms in vv. 1-2 express the psalmist’s resolve to praise God publicly.

[32:11]  ¹⁰ tn Heb “all [you] pure of heart.” The “heart” is here viewed as the seat of one’s moral character and motives. The “pure of heart” are God’s faithful followers who trust in and love the Lord and, as a result, experience his deliverance (see Pss 7:10; 11:2; 36:10; 64:10; 94:15; 97:11).

[51:10]  ¹¹ sn The heart is viewed here as the seat of the psalmist’s motives and moral character.

[51:10]  ¹² tn Heb “and a reliable spirit renew in my inner being.”

[84:11]  ¹³ tn Heb “[is] a sun and a shield.” The epithet “sun,” though rarely used of Israel’s God in the OT, was a well-attested royal title in the ancient Near East. For several examples from Ugaritic texts, the Amarna letters, and Assyrian royal inscriptions, see R. B. Chisholm, “An Exegetical and Theological Study of Psalm 18/2 Samuel 22” (Th.D. diss., Dallas Theological Seminary, 1983), 131, n. 2.

[84:11]  ¹⁴ tn Or “grace.”

[84:11]  ¹⁵ tn Heb “he does not withhold good to those walking in integrity.”

[94:15]  ¹⁶ tn Heb “for judgment will return to justice.”

[94:15]  ¹⁷ tn Heb “all the pure of heart.” The “heart” is here viewed as the seat of one’s moral character and motives. The “pure of heart” are God’s faithful followers who trust in and love the Lord and, as a result, experience his deliverance (see Pss 7:10; 11:2; 32:11; 36:10; 64:10; 97:11).

[94:15]  ¹⁸ tn Heb “and after it [are] the pure of heart.”

[111:1]  ¹⁹ sn Psalm 111. The psalmist praises God for his marvelous deeds, especially the way in which he provides for and delivers his people. The psalm is an acrostic. After the introductory call to praise, every poetic line (twenty-two in all) begins with a successive letter of the Hebrew alphabet.

[119:7]  ²⁰ tn Heb “I will give you thanks with an upright heart.”

[119:34]  ²¹ tn The two prefixed verbal forms with vav (ו) conjunctive indicate purpose/result after the introductory imperative.

[119:58]  ²² tn Heb “I appease your face.”

[119:58]  ²³ tn Heb “according to your word.”

[119:69]  ²⁴ tn Heb “smear over me a lie.”

[119:80]  ²⁵ tn Heb “may my heart be complete in your statutes.”

[23:26]  ²⁶ tn Heb “my son”; the reference to a “son” is retained in the translation here because in the following lines the advice is to avoid women who are prostitutes.

[3:10]  ²⁷ tn Heb “And even in all this.”

[3:10]  ²⁸ tn Heb “ has not turned back to me with all her heart but only in falsehood.”

[24:7]  ²⁹ tn Heb “I will give them a heart to know me that I am the Lord.” For the use of “heart” here referring to “inclinations, resolutions, and determinations of the will” see BDB 525 s.v. לֵב 4 and compare the usage in 2 Chr 12:14. For the use of “know” to mean “acknowledge” see BDB 384 s.v. יָדַע Qal.1.f and compare the usage in Jer 39:4. For the construction “know ‘someone’ that he…” = “know that ‘someone’…” see GKC 365 §117.h and compare the usage in 2 Sam 3:25.

[24:7]  ³⁰ tn Heb “with all their heart.”

[8:21]  ³¹ tn The translation “share or part” is given by L&N 63.13.

[8:21]  ³² tn Since the semantic range for λόγος (logos) is so broad, a number of different translations could be given for the prepositional phrase here. Something along the lines of “in this thing” would work well, but is too colloquial for the present translation.

[6:5]  ³³ tn Traditionally, “Servants” (KJV). Though δοῦλος (doulos) is often translated “servant,” the word does not bear the connotation of a free individual serving another. BDAG notes that “‘servant’ for ‘slave’ is largely confined to Biblical transl. and early American times…in normal usage at the present time the two words are carefully distinguished” (BDAG 260 s.v.). The most accurate translation is “bondservant” (sometimes found in the ASV for δοῦλος), in that it often indicates one who sells himself into slavery to another. But as this is archaic, few today understand its force.

[6:5]  ³⁴ tn Grk “the masters according to the flesh.” In the translation above, the article τοῖς (tois) governing κυρίοις (kuriois) is rendered in English as a possessive pronoun (i.e., “your”) and the prepositional phrase κατὰ σάρκα (kata sarka) is taken as modifying κυρίοις (indicating that the author is referring to human masters) and not modifying the imperative ὑπακούετε (Jupakouete, which would indicate that obedience was according to a human standard or limitation).
