Psalms 108:3

108:3 I will give you thanks before the nations, O Lord!

I will sing praises to you before foreigners! ¹ 

Matthew 26:30

26:30 After ²  singing a hymn, ³  they went out to the Mount of Olives.

Romans 15:9

15:9 and thus the Gentiles glorify God for his mercy. ⁴  As it is written, “Because of this I will confess you among the Gentiles, and I will sing praises to your name.” ⁵ 

¹ tn Or “the peoples.”

² tn Here καί (kai) has not been translated.

³ sn After singing a hymn. The Hallel Psalms (Pss 113-118) were sung during the meal. Psalms 113 and 114 were sung just before the second cup and 115-118 were sung at the end of the meal, after the fourth, or hallel cup.

⁴ tn There are two major syntactical alternatives which are both awkward: (1) One could make “glorify” dependent on “Christ has become a minister” and coordinate with “to confirm” and the result would be rendered “Christ has become a minister of circumcision to confirm the promises…and so that the Gentiles might glorify God.” (2) One could make “glorify” dependent on “I tell you” and coordinate with “Christ has become a minister” and the result would be rendered “I tell you that Christ has become a minister of circumcision…and that the Gentiles glorify God.” The second rendering is preferred.

⁵ sn A quotation from Ps 18:49.
