72:18 The Lord God, the God of Israel, deserves praise! 1
He alone accomplishes amazing things! 2
72:19 His glorious name deserves praise 3 forevermore!
May his majestic splendor 4 fill the whole earth!
We agree! We agree! 5
1 tn Heb “[be] blessed.” See Pss 18:46; 28:6; 31:21; 41:13.
2 tn Heb “[the] one who does amazing things by himself.”
3 tn Heb “[be] blessed.”
4 tn Or “glory.”
5 tn Heb “surely and surely” (אָמֵן וְאָמֵן [’amen vÿ’amen], i.e., “Amen and amen”). This is probably a congregational response of agreement to the immediately preceding statement about the propriety of praising God.
