1 tn Or “gave,” if the events of the exodus and conquest period (see v. 6, 9) are primarily in view.
2 tn Heb “those who fear him.”
3 tn Or “he remembers his covenant forever” (see Ps 105:8).
4 tn Or “remember.” For other examples of the verb זָכַר (zakhar) carrying the nuance “take notice of,” see Pss 8:4 and 9:12.
5 tc Heb “consider as fat.” The verbal form should probably be emended to יְדַשְּׁנֶהָ (yÿdashÿneha), the final he (ה) being understood as a third feminine singular pronominal suffix referring back to the feminine noun “burnt sacrifice.”
7 tn Heb “we will cause them to disappear from [being] a nation.”
10 tn Or “fathers’ sins.”
11 tn Heb “not be wiped out.”
