68:34 Acknowledge God’s power, 1
his sovereignty over Israel,
and the power he reveals in the skies! 2
68:35 You are awe-inspiring, O God, as you emerge from your holy temple! 3
It is the God of Israel 4 who gives the people power and strength.
God deserves praise! 5
1 tn Heb “give strength to God.”
2 sn The language of v. 34 echoes that of Deut 33:26.
3 tn Heb “awesome [is] God from his holy places.” The plural of מִקְדָּשׁ (miqdash, “holy places”) perhaps refers to the temple precincts (see Ps 73:17; Jer 51:51).
4 tn Heb “the God of Israel, he.”
5 tn Heb “blessed [be] God.”
