[8:3]  ¹ tn Heb “when I see your heavens, the works of your fingers, the moon and stars which you established.” The verb “[and] see” is understood by ellipsis in the second half of the verse.

[38:16]  ² tn Heb “For I said, ‘Lest they rejoice over me.’” The psalmist recalls the motivating argument of his petition. He probably prefaced this statement with a prayer for deliverance (see Pss 7:1-2; 13:3-4; 28:1).

[38:16]  ³ tn Heb “they will magnify against me.” See Pss 35:26; 55:13.

[69:19]  ⁴ tn Heb “before you [are] all my enemies.”

[74:3]  ⁵ tn Heb “lift up your steps to,” which may mean “run, hurry.”

[74:3]  ⁶ tn Heb “everything [the] enemy has damaged in the holy place.”

[90:16]  ⁷ tn Heb “may your work be revealed to your servants.” In this context (note v. 17) the verb form יֵרָאֶה (yera’eh) is best understood as an unshortened jussive (see Gen 1:9; Isa 47:3).

[90:16]  ⁸ tn Heb “and your majesty to their sons.” The verb “be revealed” is understood by ellipsis in the second line.
