¹ tn Traditionally “your testimonies.” The Hebrew noun עֵדוּת (’edut) refers here to the demands of God’s covenant law. See Ps 19:7.

² sn The rules you set down. God’s covenant contains a clear, reliable witness to his moral character and demands.

³ sn Holiness refers here to God’s royal transcendence (see vv. 1-4), as well as his moral authority and perfection (see v. 5a).

⁴ tn Heb “for your house holiness is fitting, O Lord, for length of days.”

⁵ tn This verb occurs in the Greek middle voice, which here intensifies the role of the subject, Christ, in accomplishing the action: “he alone secured”; “he and no other secured.”

⁶ tn Grk “and not that he might offer,” continuing the previous construction.
