[8:9] 1 tn The plural form of the title emphasizes the
[8:9] 2 tn Or “awesome, majestic.”
[8:9] 3 tn Heb “name,” which here stands metonymically for God’s reputation.
[8:9] 4 sn Using the poetic device of inclusio, the psalmist ends the psalm the way he began it. The concluding refrain is identical to v. 1.
[22:3] 5 tn Heb “[O] one who sits [on] the praises of Israel.” The verb “receiving” is supplied in the translation for clarity. The metaphorical language pictures the
[41:7] 6 tn Heb “together against me they whisper, all those who hate me.” The Hitpael of לָחַשׁ (lakhash) refers here to whispering to one another (see 2 Sam 12:19).
[49:6] 7 tn Heb “the ones who trust.” The substantival participle stands in apposition to “those who deceive me” (v. 5).
[49:6] 8 tn The imperfect verbal form emphasizes their characteristic behavior.
[74:13] 9 tn The derivation and meaning of the Polel verb form פּוֹרַרְתָּ (porarta) are uncertain. The form may be related to an Akkadian cognate meaning “break, shatter,” though the biblical Hebrew cognate of this verb always appears in the Hiphil or Hophal stem. BDB 830 s.v.

[74:13] 10 tn The Hebrew text has the plural form, “sea monsters” (cf. NRSV “dragons”), but it is likely that an original enclitic mem has been misunderstood as a plural ending. The imagery of the mythological sea monster is utilized here. See the note on “Leviathan” in v. 14.
[94:21] 12 tn Heb “the life of the blameless.”
[94:21] 13 tn Heb “and the blood of the innocent they declare guilty.”
[106:40] 14 tn Heb “the anger of the
[106:40] 15 tn Heb “his inheritance.”
[106:41] 16 tn Heb “gave them into the hand of.”
[118:26] 17 sn The people refer here to the psalmist, who enters the
[118:26] 18 tn The pronominal suffix is second masculine plural, but the final mem (ם) is probably dittographic (note the mem [מ] at the beginning of the following form) or enclitic, in which case the suffix may be taken as second masculine singular, referring to the psalmist.
