¹tn Heb “in all the earth [are] his judgments.”

²tn Heb “let them say among the nations.”

³tn Heb “fathers.”

⁴tn Heb “prostituted themselves after.”

⁵tn Heb “the peoples of the land.”

⁴tn Heb “all Israel.”

⁵sn Jebus was an older name for the city of Jerusalem (cf. Josh 15:8; Judg 1:21).

⁶tn Heb “and there [were] the Jebusites, the inhabitants of the land.”

⁵tn Heb “from day to day.”

⁶tn The words “he told them” are added in the translation for clarity and for stylistic reasons.

⁷tn In the Hebrew text the statement is phrased as a rhetorical question, “Is not the Lord your God with you?” The question anticipates the response, “Of course he is!” Thus in the translation the positive statement “The Lord your God is with you!” has been used.

⁸tn Heb “and he gives rest to you all around.”

⁹tn Or “earth.”

¹⁰tn Or “earth.”

⁷sn Perhaps this refers to the scattering of the people at Babel (Gen 11:1-9).

⁸tn Heb “fathers” (also in vv. 18, 20).

⁹tn Or perhaps “hope.”

⁹tn Heb “Is David honoring your father in your eyes when he sends to you ones consoling?”

¹⁰tc Heb “Is it not to explore and to overturn and to spy out the land (that) his servants have come to you?” The Hebrew term לַהֲפֹךְ (lahafakh, “to overturn”) seems misplaced in the sequence. Some emend the form to לַחְפֹּר (lakhpor, “to spy out”). The sequence of three infinitives may be a conflation of alternative readings.

¹⁰tn Heb “and David and the elders, covered with sackcloth, fell on their faces.”

¹¹tn The words “I say this” are not in the Hebrew text, but are supplied in the translation for clarity and for stylistic reasons.

¹²tn Heb “Watch! Seek!”
