145:7 They will talk about the fame of your great kindness, 1
and sing about your justice. 2
94:4 They spew out threats 3 and speak defiantly;
all the evildoers boast. 4
1 tn Heb “the fame of the greatness of your goodness.”
2 tn The prefixed verbal forms in v. 7 are understood as imperfects, indicating how the psalmist expects his audience to respond to his praise. Another option is to take the forms as jussives, indicating the psalmist’s wish, “may they talk…and sing.”
3 tn Heb “they gush forth [words].”
4 tn The Hitpael of אָמַר (’amar) occurs only here (and perhaps in Isa 61:6).
