[18:25]  1 tn Or “ruler.”

[18:25]  2 sn Will not the judge of the whole earth do what is right? For discussion of this text see J. L. Crenshaw, “Popular Questioning of the Justice of God in Ancient Israel,” ZAW 82 (1970): 380-95, and C. S. Rodd, “Shall Not the Judge of All the Earth Do What Is Just?” ExpTim 83 (1972): 137-39.

[32:4]  3 tc The LXX reads Θεός (qeos, “God”) for the MT’s “Rock.”

[32:4]  4 tn Or “just” (KJV, NAB, NRSV, NLT) or “righteous” (NASB).

[50:6]  5 tn Or “justice.”

[50:6]  6 tn Or “for God, he is about to judge.” The participle may be taken as substantival (as in the translation above) or as a predicate (indicating imminent future action in this context).

[145:17]  7 tn Heb “in all his ways.”

[145:17]  8 tn Heb “and [is] loving in all his deeds.”

[12:1]  9 tn Or “Lord, you are fair when I present my case before you.”

[12:1]  10 tn Heb “judgments” or “matters of justice.” For the nuance of “complain to,” “fair,” “disposition of justice” assumed here, see BDB 936 s.v. רִיב Qal.4 (cf. Judg 21:22); BDB 843 s.v. צַדִּיק 1.d (cf. Ps 7:12; 11:7); BDB 1049 s.v. מִשְׁפָּט 1.f (cf. Isa 26:8; Ps 10:5; Ezek 7:27).

[12:1]  11 tn Heb “Why does the way [= course of life] of the wicked prosper?”

[3:5]  12 tn The word “resides” is supplied for clarification.

[3:5]  13 tn Or “he does no injustice.”

[3:5]  14 tn Heb “gives”; or “dispenses.”

[3:5]  15 tn Heb “at the light he is not missing.” Note that NASB (which capitalizes pronouns referring to Deity) has divided the lines differently: “Every morning He brings His justice to light; // He does not fail.”

[2:5]  16 tn Grk “hardness.” Concerning this imagery, see Jer 4:4; Ezek 3:7; 1 En. 16:3.

[2:5]  17 tn Grk “in the day of wrath and revelation of the righteous judgment of God.”

[2:6]  18 tn Grk “who.” The relative pronoun was converted to a personal pronoun and, because of the length and complexity of the Greek sentence, a new sentence was started here in the translation.

[2:6]  19 tn Or “will render,” “will recompense.” In this context Paul is setting up a hypothetical situation, not stating that salvation is by works.

[2:6]  20 sn A quotation from Ps 62:12; Prov 24:12; a close approximation to Matt 16:27.
