19:1 After these things I heard what sounded like the loud voice of a vast throng in heaven, saying,

“Hallelujah! Salvation and glory and power belong to our God,

19:2 because his judgments are true and just. ²⁰ 

For he has judged ²¹  the great prostitute

who corrupted the earth with her sexual immorality,

and has avenged the blood of his servants ²²  poured out by her own hands!” ²³ 

19:3 Then ²⁴  a second time the crowd shouted, “Hallelujah!” The smoke rises from her forever and ever. ²⁵  19:4 The twenty-four elders and the four living creatures threw themselves to the ground ²⁶  and worshiped God, who was seated on the throne, saying: “Amen! Hallelujah!”

19:5 Then ²⁷  a voice came from the throne, saying:

“Praise our God

all you his servants,

and all you who fear Him,

both the small and the great!”

[12:4]  ¹ tn Or “in that day” (KJV).

[12:4]  ² tn Heb “call in his name,” i.e., “invoke his name.”

[12:4]  ³ tn Heb “bring to remembrance that his name is exalted.” The Lord’s “name” stands here for his character and reputation.

[12:1]  ⁴ tn Or “in that day” (KJV).

[29:11]  ⁵ tn Heb “vision” (so NASB, NIV, NRSV).

[29:11]  ⁶ tn Heb “one who knows a/the scroll.”

[9:16]  ⁷ tn Heb “by the work of his hands [the] wicked [one] was ensnared. The singular form רָשָׁע (rasha’, “wicked”) is collective or representative here (see vv. 15, 17). The form נוֹקֵשׁ (noqesh) appears to be an otherwise unattested Qal form (active participle) from נָקַשׁ (naqash), but the form should be emended to נוֹקַשׁ (noqash), a Niphal perfect from יָקַשׁ (yaqash).

[9:16]  ⁸ tn This is probably a technical musical term.

[21:13]  ⁹ tn Heb “in your strength,” but English idiom does not require the pronoun.

[21:13]  ¹⁰ tn Heb “sing praise.”

[46:10]  ¹¹ tn The words “he says” are supplied in the translation for clarification.

[46:10]  ¹² tn Heb “do nothing/be quiet (see 1 Sam 15:16) and know.” This statement may be addressed to the hostile nations, indicating they should cease their efforts to destroy God’s people, or to Judah, indicating they should rest secure in God’s protection. Since the psalm is an expression of Judah’s trust and confidence, it is more likely that the words are directed to the nations, who are actively promoting chaos and are in need of a rebuke.

[46:10]  ¹³ tn Elsewhere in the psalms the verb רוּם (rum, “be exalted”) when used of God, refers to his exalted position as king (Pss 18:46; 99:2; 113:4; 138:6) and/or his self-revelation as king through his mighty deeds of deliverance (Pss 21:13; 57:5, 11).

[46:10]  ¹⁴ tn Or “among.”

[46:10]  ¹⁵ tn Or “in.”

[28:22]  ¹⁶ tn Or “I challenge you.” The phrase “I am against you” may be a formula for challenging someone to combat or a duel. See D. I. Block, Ezekiel (NICOT), 1:201-2, and P. Humbert, “Die Herausforderungsformel ‘h!nn#n' ?l?K>,’” ZAW 45 (1933): 101-8.

[28:22]  ¹⁷ tn Or “reveal my holiness.” God’s “holiness” is fundamentally his transcendence as sovereign ruler of the world. The revelation of his authority and power through judgment is in view in this context.

[2:5]  ¹⁸ tn Grk “hardness.” Concerning this imagery, see Jer 4:4; Ezek 3:7; 1 En. 16:3.

[2:5]  ¹⁹ tn Grk “in the day of wrath and revelation of the righteous judgment of God.”

[19:2]  ²⁰ tn Compare the similar phrase in Rev 16:7.

[19:2]  ²¹ tn Or “has punished.” See BDAG 568 s.v. κρίνω 5.b.α, describing the OT background which involves both the vindication of the innocent and the punishment of the guilty.

[19:2]  ²² tn See the note on the word “servants” in 1:1.

[19:2]  ²³ tn Grk “from her hand” (referring to her responsibility in causing the blood of God’s followers to be shed).

[19:3]  ²⁴ tn Here καί (kai) has been translated as “then” to indicate the implied sequence within the narrative.

[19:3]  ²⁵ tn Or “her smoke ascends forever and ever.”

[19:4]  ²⁶ tn Grk “creatures fell down.” BDAG 815 s.v. πίπτω 1.b.α.ב. has “fall down, throw oneself to the ground as a sign of devotion or humility, before high-ranking persons or divine beings.”

[19:5]  ²⁷ tn Here καί (kai) has been translated as “then” to indicate the implied sequence within the narrative.
