Context4:8 blessed is the one 32 against whom the Lord will never count 33 sin.” 34
4:9 Is this blessedness 35 then for 36 the circumcision 37 or also for 38 the uncircumcision? For we say, “faith was credited to Abraham as righteousness.” 39 4:10 How then was it credited to him? Was he circumcised at the time, or not? No, he was not circumcised but uncircumcised!
[3:11] 2 tn Heb “they answered.”
[25:8] 4 tn Heb “good and just.”
[25:8] 5 tn Heb “teaches sinners in the way.”
[100:5] 7 tn Heb “and to a generation and a generation [is] his faithfulness.”
[136:1] 8 sn Psalm 136. In this hymn the psalmist affirms that God is praiseworthy because of his enduring loyal love, sovereign authority, and compassion. Each verse of the psalm concludes with the refrain “for his loyal love endures.”
[136:13] 11 tn Heb “Reed Sea” (also in v. 15). “Reed Sea” (or “Sea of Reeds”) is a more accurate rendering of the Hebrew expression יָם סוּף (yam suf), traditionally translated “Red Sea.” See the note on the term “Red Sea” in Exod 13:18.
[136:13] 12 tn Heb “into pieces.”
[136:15] 13 tn Or “shook off.”
[136:23] 14 tn Heb “who, in our low condition, remembered us.”
[136:25] 15 tn Heb “to all flesh,” which can refer to all people (see Pss 65:2; 145:21) or more broadly to mankind and animals. Elsewhere the psalms view God as the provider for all living things (see Pss 104:27-28; 145:15).
[145:6] 16 tn The prefixed verbal form is understood as an imperfect, indicating how the psalmist expects his audience to respond to his praise. Another option is to take the forms as a jussive, indicating the psalmist’s wish, “may they proclaim.”
[145:7] 17 tn Heb “the fame of the greatness of your goodness.”
[145:7] 18 tn The prefixed verbal forms in v. 7 are understood as imperfects, indicating how the psalmist expects his audience to respond to his praise. Another option is to take the forms as jussives, indicating the psalmist’s wish, “may they talk…and sing.”
[145:8] 19 tn Heb “slow to anger” (see Pss 86:15; 103:8).
[145:8] 20 tn Heb “and great of loyal love” (see Pss 86:15; 103:8).
[145:9] 21 tn Heb “and his compassion is over all his works.”

[33:11] 23 sn What is predicted here is a reversal of the decimation caused by the Babylonian conquest that had been threatened in 7:34; 16:9; 25:10.
[33:11] 24 sn This is a common hymnic introduction to both individual songs of thanksgiving (e.g., Ps 118:1) and communal songs of thanksgiving (e.g., Ps 136 where it is a liturgical refrain accompanying a recital of Israel’s early history and of the
[33:11] 25 tn Heb “Oracle of the
[33:11] 26 tn Or “I will restore the fortunes of the land.”
[33:11] 27 tn This phrase simply means “as formerly” (BDB 911 s.v. רִאשׁוֹן 3.a). The reference to the “as formerly” must be established from the context. See the usage in Judg 20:32; 1 Kgs 13:6; Isa 1:26.
[3:25] 28 tn Heb “wait for him”
[3:25] 29 tn Heb “to the soul…” The term נֶפֶשׁ (nefesh, “soul”) is a synecdoche of part (= “the soul who seeks him”) for the whole person (= “the person who seeks him”).
[11:22] 30 tn Greek emphasizes the contrast between these two clauses more than can be easily expressed in English.
[11:22] 31 tn Grk “if you continue in (the) kindness.”
[4:8] 32 tn The word for “man” or “individual” here is ἀνήρ (anhr), which often means “male” or “man (as opposed to woman).” However, as BDAG 79 s.v. 2 says, here it is “equivalent to τὶς someone, a person.”
[4:8] 33 tn The verb translated “count” here is λογίζομαι (logizomai). It occurs eight times in Rom 4:1-12, including here, each time with the sense of “place on someone’s account.” By itself the word is neutral, but in particular contexts it can take on a positive or negative connotation. The other occurrences of the verb have been translated using a form of the English verb “credit” because they refer to a positive event: the application of righteousness to the individual believer. The use here in v. 8 is negative: the application of sin. A form of the verb “credit” was not used here because of the positive connotations associated with that English word, but it is important to recognize that the same concept is used here as in the other occurrences.
[4:8] 34 sn A quotation from Ps 32:1-2.
