[16:29] ¹tn Heb “the splendor of [i.e., due] his name.”

[16:29] ²tn Or “in holy splendor.”

[29:2] ³tn Heb “ascribe to the Lord the glory of his name.” The Hebrew term שֵׁם (shem, “name”) refers here to the Lord’s reputation. (The English term “name” is often used the same way.)

[29:2] ⁴tn That is, properly dressed for the occasion.

[50:2] ⁵tn Heb “the perfection of beauty.”

[50:2] ⁶tn Or “shines forth.”

[90:17] ⁷tn Heb “and may the delight of the Master, our God, be on us.” The Hebrew term נֹעַם (no’am, “delight”) is used in Ps 27:4 of the Lord’s “beauty,” but here it seems to refer to his favor (see BDB 653 s.v.) or kindness (HALOT 706 s.v.).

[90:17] ⁸tn Heb “and the work of our hands establish over us, and the work of our hands, establish it.”

[96:9] ⁹tn Or “in holy splendor.”
