88:12 Are your amazing deeds experienced 1 in the dark region, 2
or your deliverance in the land of oblivion? 3
77:11 I will remember the works of the Lord.
Yes, I will remember the amazing things you did long ago! 4
89:5 O Lord, the heavens 5 praise your amazing deeds,
as well as your faithfulness in the angelic assembly. 6
1 tn Heb “known.”
2 tn Heb “darkness,” here a title for Sheol.
3 tn Heb “forgetfulness.” The noun, which occurs only here in the OT, is derived from a verbal root meaning “to forget.”
4 tn Heb “yes, I will remember from old your wonders.”
7 tn As the following context makes clear, the personified “heavens” here stand by metonymy for the angelic beings that surround God’s heavenly throne.
8 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).
