[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.”

[78:11]  ⁵ tn Heb “his deeds.”

[90:8]  ⁶ tn Heb “you set our sins in front of you.”

[90:8]  ⁷ tn Heb “what we have hidden to the light of your face.” God’s face is compared to a light or lamp that exposes the darkness around it.

[92:9]  ⁸ tn Or “for.”

[92:9]  ⁹ tn Or “for.”
