[33:1]  ¹ sn Psalm 33. In this hymn the psalmist praises the Lord as the sovereign creator and just ruler of the world who protects and vindicates those who fear him.

[96:2]  ² tn Heb “announce from day to day his deliverance.”

[96:4]  ³ tn Or perhaps “and feared by all gods.” See Ps 89:7.

[148:4]  ⁴ sn The “water” mentioned here corresponds to the “waters above” mentioned in Gen 1:7. See also Ps 104:3. For a discussion of the picture envisioned by the psalmist, see L. I. J. Stadelmann, The Hebrew Conception of the World, 47.
