[78:19]  ¹ tn Heb “they spoke against God, they said.”

[78:19]  ² tn Heb “to arrange a table [for food].”

[93:5]  ³ 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]  ⁴ sn The rules you set down. God’s covenant contains a clear, reliable witness to his moral character and demands.

[93:5]  ⁵ 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]  ⁶ tn Heb “for your house holiness is fitting, O Lord, for length of days.”

[106:2]  ⁷ tn Heb “[or] cause to be heard all his praise.”

[119:29]  ⁸ tn The “path of deceit” refers to a lifestyle characterized by deceit and disloyalty to God. It stands in contrast to the “way of faithfulness” in v. 30.

[119:29]  ⁹ tn Heb “be gracious to me.” The verb is used metonymically here for “graciously giving” the law. (See Gen 33:5, where Jacob uses this verb in describing how God had graciously given him children.)
