90:8 You are aware of our sins; 1
you even know about our hidden sins. 2
74:16 You established the cycle of day and night; 3
you put the moon 4 and sun in place. 5
1 tn Heb “you set our sins in front of you.”
2 tn Heb “what we have hidden to the light of your face.” God’s face is compared to a light or lamp that exposes the darkness around it.
3 tn Heb “To you [is] day, also to you [is] night.”
4 tn Heb “[the] light.” Following the reference to “day and night” and in combination with “sun,” it is likely that the Hebrew term מָאוֹר (ma’or, “light”) refers here to the moon.
5 tn Heb “you established [the] light and [the] sun.”
