[12:6]  ¹ sn See the note on the phrase “the Holy One of Israel” in 1:4.

[12:6]  ² tn Or “is great” (TEV). However, the context emphasizes his mighty acts of deliverance (cf. NCV), not some general or vague character quality.

[20:5]  ³ tn Heb “and they will be afraid and embarrassed because of Cush their hope and Egypt their beauty.”

[24:14]  ⁴ sn The remnant of the nations (see v. 13) may be the unspecified subject. If so, then those who have survived the judgment begin to praise God.

[24:14]  ⁵ tn Heb “they yell out concerning.”

[25:3]  ⁶ tn The Hebrew text has a singular form, but it should be emended to a plural or eliminated altogether. The noun may have been accidentally copied from the preceding verse.

[26:8]  ⁷ tn The Hebrew text has, “yes, the way of your judgments.” The translation assumes that “way” is related to the verb “we wait” as an adverbial accusative (“in the way of your judgments we wait”). מִשְׁפָּטֶיךָ (mishpatekha, “your judgments”) could refer to the Lord’s commandments, in which case one might translate, “as we obey your commands.” However, in verse 9 the same form refers to divine acts of judgment on evildoers.

[26:8]  ⁸ tn Heb “your name and your remembrance [is] the desire of [our?] being.”

[26:15]  ⁹ tn Heb “you have added to the nation.” The last line of the verse suggests that geographical expansion is in view. “The nation” is Judah.

[26:15]  ¹⁰ tn Or “brought honor to yourself.”
