Psalms 68:11

68:11 The Lord speaks; 1 

many, many women spread the good news. 2 

Psalms 96:2

96:2 Sing to the Lord! Praise his name!

Announce every day how he delivers! 3 

Psalms 40:9

40:9 I have told the great assembly 4  about your justice. 5 

Look! I spare no words! 6 

O Lord, you know this is true.

1 tn Heb “gives a word.” Perhaps this refers to a divine royal decree or battle cry.

2 tn Heb “the ones spreading the good news [are] a large army.” The participle translated “the ones spreading the good news” is a feminine plural form. Apparently the good news here is the announcement that enemy kings have been defeated (see v. 12).

3 tn Heb “announce from day to day his deliverance.”

5 sn The great assembly is also mentioned in Pss 22:25 and 35:18.

6 tn Heb “I proclaim justice in the great assembly.” Though “justice” appears without a pronoun here, the Lord’s just acts are in view (see v. 10). His “justice” (צֶדֶק, tsedeq) is here the deliverance that originates in his justice; he protects and vindicates the one whose cause is just.

7 tn Heb “Look! My lips I do not restrain.”
