¹ tn The present translation understands כִּי (ki) in an emphatic or asseverative sense (“Certainly”). Other translation have “indeed” (NASB), “when” (NRSV), “so” (NEB), or leave the word untranslated (NIV).

² tn Heb “the good way in which they should walk.”

³ tn Or “for an inheritance.”

⁴ tn The words “their sin” are not in the Hebrew text, but are supplied for clarification.

⁵ tn Heb “and act and give to each one according to all his ways because you know his heart.” In the Hebrew text vv. 28-30a actually contain one lengthy conditional sentence, which the translation has divided up for stylistic reasons.

⁶ tn Heb “Indeed you know, you alone, the heart of all the sons of mankind.”

⁷ tn Or “soul.”

¹⁴ tn Heb “the house of your father.”
