[89:31]  25 tn Or “desecrate.”

[89:32]  26 tn Heb “I will punish with a club their rebellion.”

[89:32]  27 tn Heb “with blows their sin.”

[89:33]  28 tn Heb “break”; “make ineffectual.” Some prefer to emend אָפִיר (’afir; the Hiphil of פָּרַר, parar, “to break”) to אָסִיר (’asir; the Hiphil of סוּר, sur, “to turn aside”), a verb that appears in 2 Sam 7:15.

[89:33]  29 tn Heb “and I will not deal falsely with my faithfulness.”

[89:34]  30 tn Or “desecrate.”

[89:34]  31 tn Heb “and what proceeds out of my lips I will not alter.”

[89:36]  33 tn Heb “his offspring forever will be.”

[89:36]  34 tn Heb “and his throne like the sun before me.”

[89:37]  35 tn Heb “like the moon it will be established forever.”

[89:37]  36 tn Heb “and a witness in the sky, secure.” Scholars have offered a variety of opinions as to the identity of the “witness” referred to here, none of which is very convincing. It is preferable to join וְעֵד (vÿed) to עוֹלָם (’olam) in the preceding line and translate the commonly attested phrase עוֹלָם וְעֵד (“forever”). In this case one may translate the second line, “[it] will be secure like the skies.” Another option (the one reflected in the present translation) is to take עד as a rare noun meaning “throne” or “dais.” This noun is attested in Ugaritic; see, for example, CTA 16 vi 22-23, where ksi (= כִּסֵּא, kisse’, “throne”) and ’d (= עד, “dais”) appear as synonyms in the poetic parallelism (see G. R. Driver, Canaanite Myths and Legends, 91). Emending בַּשַּׁחַק (bashakhaq, “in the heavens”) to כַּשַׁחַק (kashakhaq, “like the heavens”) – bet/kaf (כ/ב) confusion is widely attested – one can then read “[his] throne like the heavens [is] firm/stable.” Verse 29 refers to the enduring nature of the heavens, while Job 37:18 speaks of God spreading out the heavens (שְׁחָקִים, shÿkhaqim) and compares their strength to a bronze mirror. Ps 89:29 uses the term שָׁמַיִם (shamayim, “skies”) which frequently appears in parallelism to שְׁחָקִים.

[89:38]  37 tn The Hebrew construction (conjunction + pronoun, followed by the verb) draws attention to the contrast between what follows and what precedes.

[89:38]  38 tn Heb “your anointed one.” The Hebrew phrase מְשִׁיחֶךָ (mÿshikhekha, “your anointed one”) refers here to the Davidic king (see Pss 2:2; 18:50; 20:6; 28:8; 84:9; 132:10, 17).

[89:39]  39 tn The Hebrew verb appears only here and in Lam 2:7.

[89:39]  40 tn Heb “the covenant of your servant.”

[89:39]  41 tn Heb “you dishonor [or “desecrate”] on the ground his crown.”

[132:11]  42 tn Heb “the Lord swore an oath to David [in] truth.”

[132:11]  43 tn Heb “he will not turn back from it.”

[132:11]  44 tn The words “he said” are supplied in the translation to clarify that what follows are the Lord’s words.

[132:11]  45 tn Heb “the fruit of your body.”
