Psalms 9:20

9:20 Terrify them, Lord!

Let the nations know they are mere mortals! (Selah)

Psalms 76:11

76:11 Make vows to the Lord your God and repay them!

Let all those who surround him bring tribute to the awesome one!


tn Heb “place, Lord, terror with regard to them.” The Hebrew term מוֹרָה (morah, “terror”) is an alternative form of מוֹרָא (mora’; a reading that appears in some mss and finds support in several ancient textual witnesses).

tn Heb “let the nations know they [are] man[kind]”; i.e., mere human beings (as opposed to God).

tn The phrase “all those who surround him” may refer to the surrounding nations (v. 12 may favor this), but in Ps 89:7 the phrase refers to God’s heavenly assembly.
