50:10 For every wild animal in the forest belongs to me,
as well as the cattle that graze on a thousand hills. 1
91:7 Though a thousand may fall beside you,
and a multitude on your right side,
it 2 will not reach you.
105:8 He always remembers his covenantal decree,
the promise he made 3 to a thousand generations –
119:72 The law you have revealed is more important to me
than thousands of pieces of gold and silver. 4
1 tn Heb “[the] animals on a thousand hills.” The words “that graze” are supplied in the translation for clarification. The term בְּהֵמוֹה (bÿhemot, “animal”) refers here to cattle (see Ps 104:14).
2 tn Apparently the deadly disease mentioned in v. 6b is the understood subject here.
3 tn Heb “[the] word he commanded.” The text refers here to God’s unconditional covenantal promise to Abraham and the patriarchs, as vv. 10-12 make clear.
4 tn Heb “better to me [is] the law of your mouth than thousands of gold and silver.”
