1 tn The verb form is cohortative, indicating the psalmist’s resolve (or vow) to praise the
2 tn Or “for he will have vindicated me.” The verb form indicates a future perfect here. The idiom גָמַל עַל (gamal ’al) means “to repay,” here in a positive sense.
3 tn Heb “and I add to all your praise.”
4 tn Or “when.” The translation assumes that כִּי (ki) has an emphasizing (asseverative) function here.
5 tn Heb “and my life [or “soul”] which you will have redeemed.” The perfect verbal form functions here as a future perfect. The psalmist anticipates praising God, for God will have rescued him by that time.
6 tn Or, hyperbolically, “forever.”
7 sn Psalm 146. The psalmist urges his audience not to trust in men, but in the
8 tn Grk “six wings apiece,” but this is redundant with “each one” in English.
9 tn Some translations render ἔσωθεν (eswqen) as “under [its] wings,” but the description could also mean “filled all around on the outside and on the inside with eyes.” Since the referent is not available to the interpreter, the exact force is difficult to determine.
10 tn Or “They never stop saying day and night.”
11 tn On this word BDAG 755 s.v. παντοκράτωρ states, “the Almighty, All-Powerful, Omnipotent (One) only of God…(ὁ) κύριος ὁ θεὸς ὁ π. …Rv 1:8; 4:8; 11:17; 15:3; 16:7; 21:22.”
12 tn Here καί (kai) has not been translated since English normally uses a coordinating conjunction only between the last two elements in a series of three or more.
