77:11 I will remember the works of the Lord.
Yes, I will remember the amazing things you did long ago! 1
88:10 Do you accomplish amazing things for the dead?
Do the departed spirits 2 rise up and give you thanks? (Selah)
89:5 O Lord, the heavens 3 praise your amazing deeds,
as well as your faithfulness in the angelic assembly. 4
1 tn Heb “yes, I will remember from old your wonders.”
2 tn Heb “Rephaim,” a term that refers to those who occupy the land of the dead (see Isa 14:9; 26:14, 19).
3 tn As the following context makes clear, the personified “heavens” here stand by metonymy for the angelic beings that surround God’s heavenly throne.
4 tn Heb “in the assembly of the holy ones.” The phrase “holy ones” sometimes refers to God’s people (Ps 34:9) or to their priestly leaders (2 Chr 35:3), but here it refers to God’s heavenly assembly and the angels that surround his throne (see vv. 6-7).
