1 tn Heb “upon me, O God, [are] your vows.”
2 tn Heb “I will repay thank-offerings to you.”
3 sn Psalm 65. The psalmist praises God because he forgives sin and blesses his people with an abundant harvest.
4 tn Heb “for you, silence, praise.” Many prefer to emend the noun דֻּמִיָּה (dumiyyah, “silence”) to a participle דּוֹמִיָּה (domiyyah), from the root דָּמָה (damah, “be silent”), understood here in the sense of “wait.”
