¹ tn Heb “wealth and honor [are] from before you.”

² tn Heb “and in your hand [is] strength and might and in your hand to magnify and to give strength to all.”

³ tn The words “and sovereign” are added in the translation for clarification and for stylistic reasons.

⁴ tn Heb “head.”

⁵ tn Heb “and David went, going and becoming great, and the Lord who commands armies [traditionally, Lord of hosts] was with him.”

⁷ tn Heb “with all his reign and his might, and the times which passed over him and over Israel and over all the kingdoms of the lands.”

⁹ tn Heb “hand.”

¹⁰ tn Heb “when he went to set up his hand at the Euphrates River.” The Hebrew word יָד (yad, “hand”) is usually understood to mean “control” or “dominion” here. However, since יָד does occasionally refer to a monument, perhaps one could translate, “to set up his monument at the Euphrates River” (i.e., as a visible marker of the limits of his dominion). For another example of the Hiphil of נָצַב (natsav) used with יָד (“monument”), see 1 Sam 15:12.

¹¹ tn Heb “and [one] for a leader [was] from him.” This probably refers to the Davidic king.

¹³ tn Heb “by the words of God to exalt a horn.” An animal’s horn is sometimes used metaphorically as a symbol of strength and honor. See BDB 901-2 s.v. קֶרֶנ.

¹⁵ tn Heb “and they were helped against them and they were given over into their hand, the Hagrites and all who were with them, for to God they cried out in the battle and he was entreated [or “allowed himself to be entreated”] by them for they trusted in him.”

¹⁷ tn Heb “that we should retain strength to contribute like this.”

¹⁸ tn Heb “and from you we have given to you.”

¹⁹ tn Heb “and it was at the time of the turning of the year, at the time of the going out of kings.”
