[28:8]  ¹ tn Heb “the Lord [is] strength to them” (or perhaps, “to him”). The form לָמוֹ (lamo, “to them/him”) is probably a corruption of an original לְעַמוֹ (lÿ’amo, “to his people”; see P. C. Craigie, Psalms 1-50 [WBC], 236), perhaps due to quiescence of the letter ayin (ע; see P. McCarter, Textual Criticism [GBS], 55). Note the reference to the Lord’s “people” in the next verse.

[28:8]  ² tn Heb “he [is] a refuge of help for his anointed one.” The noun מָשִׁיחַ (mashiakh, “anointed one”) refers to the Davidic king, who perhaps speaks as representative of the nation in this psalm. See Pss 2:2; 18:50; 20:6; 84:9; 89:38, 51; 132:10, 17.

[78:66]  ³ tn Heb “a permanent reproach he made them.”

[107:2]  ⁴ tn Or “let the redeemed of the Lord say [so].”

[107:2]  ⁵ tn Or “redeemed.”

[107:2]  ⁶ tn Heb “hand.”

[116:6]  ⁷ tn Heb “guards.” The active participle indicates this is a characteristic of the Lord.

[116:6]  ⁸ tn Or “the [morally] naive,” that is, the one who is young and still in the process of learning right from wrong and distinguishing wisdom from folly. See Ps 19:7.

[116:6]  ⁹ tn Heb “I was low.”

[135:4]  ¹⁰ tn Or “for.”

[135:4]  ¹¹ sn His special possession. The language echoes Exod 19:5; Deut 7:6; 14:2; 26:18. See also Mal 3:17.

[147:6]  ¹² tn Heb “brings down.”

[147:14]  ¹³ tn Heb “the one who.”
