you who go down to the sea, and everything that lives in it, ² 

you coastlands ³  and those who live there!

42:11 Let the desert and its cities shout out,

he reveals his splendor through Israel. ⁸

Revelation 7:9-10

7:9 After these things I looked, and here was ²⁴  an enormous crowd that no one could count, made up of persons from every nation, tribe, ²⁵  people, and language, standing before the throne and before the Lamb dressed in long white robes, and with palm branches in their hands. 7:10 They were shouting out in a loud voice,

“Salvation belongs to our God, ²⁶ 

to the one seated on the throne, and to the Lamb!”

[42:10]  ¹ tn Heb “his praise.” The phrase stands parallel to “new song” in the previous line.

[42:10]  ² tn Heb “and its fullness”; NASB, NIV “and all that is in it.”

[42:10]  ³ tn Or “islands” (NASB, NIV); NLT “distant coastlands.”

[44:23]  ⁴ tn Heb “acts”; NASB, NRSV “has done it”; NLT “has done this wondrous thing.”

[44:23]  ⁵ tn Heb “lower regions.” This refers to Sheol and forms a merism with “sky” in the previous line. See Pss 63:9; 71:20.

[44:23]  ⁶ tn Heb “O forest and all the trees in it”; NASB, NRSV “and every tree in it.”

[44:23]  ⁷ tn Heb “redeems.” See the note at 41:14.

[44:23]  ⁸ tn That is, by delivering Israel. Cf. NCV “showed his glory when he saved Israel”; TEV “has shown his greatness by saving his people Israel.”

[49:13]  ⁹ tn Or “O heavens.” The Hebrew term שָׁמַיִם (shamayim) may be translated “heavens” or “sky” depending on the context.

[49:13]  ¹⁰ tn Heb “his” (so KJV, NAB, NASB, NIV, NRSV).

[55:13]  ¹¹ tn Heb “to the Lord for a name.” For שֵׁם (shem) used in the sense of “monument,” see also 56:5, where it stands parallel to יָד (yad).

[55:13]  ¹² tn Or, more literally, “a permanent sign that will not be cut off.”

[67:3]  ¹³ tn Heb “let the nations, all of them, thank you.” The prefixed verbal forms in vv. 3-4a are understood as jussives in this call to praise.

[67:4]  ¹⁴ tn Or “peoples.”

[67:4]  ¹⁵ tn Heb “for you judge nations fairly, and [as for the] peoples in the earth, you lead them.” The imperfects are translated with the present tense because the statement is understood as a generalization about God’s providential control of the world. Another option is to understand the statement as anticipating God’s future rule (“for you will rule…and govern”).

[67:5]  ¹⁶ tn Heb “let the nations, all of them, thank you.” The prefixed verbal forms in v. 5 are understood as jussives in this call to praise.

[98:3]  ¹⁷ tn Heb “he remembers his loyal love and his faithfulness to the house of Israel.”

[98:3]  ¹⁸ tn Heb “the deliverance of our God,” with “God” being a subjective genitive (= God delivers).

[98:9]  ¹⁹ tn The verbal forms in v. 9 probably describe God’s typical, characteristic behavior, though they may depict in dramatic fashion the outworking of divine judgment or anticipate a future judgment of worldwide proportions (“will judge…”).

[3:14]  ²⁰ sn This phrase is used as an epithet for the city and the nation. “Daughter” may seem extraneous in English but consciously joins the various epithets and metaphors of Israel and Jerusalem as a woman, a device used to evoke sympathy from the reader.

[9:9]  ²¹ tn The Hebrew term צַדִּיק (tsadiq) ordinarily translated “righteous,” frequently occurs, as here, with the idea of conforming to a standard or meeting certain criteria. The Messianic king riding into Jerusalem is fully qualified to take the Davidic throne (cf. 1 Sam 23:3; Isa 9:5-6; 11:4; 16:5; Jer 22:1-5; 23:5-6).

[9:9]  ²² tn The Hebrew term נוֹשָׁע (nosha’) a Niphal participle of יָשַׁע (yasha’, “to save”) could mean “one delivered” or, if viewed as active, “one bringing salvation” (similar KJV, NIV, NKJV). It is preferable to take the normal passive use of the Niphal and understand that the king, having been delivered, is as a result “victorious” (so also NRSV, TEV, NLT).

[9:9]  ²³ sn The NT understands this verse to be a prophecy of the triumphal entry of Jesus into Jerusalem on Palm Sunday, and properly so (cf. Matt 21:5; John 12:15), but reference to the universal rule of the king in v. 10 reveals that this is a “split prophecy,” that is, it has a two-stage fulfillment. Verse 9 was fulfilled in Jesus’ earthly ministry but v. 10 awaits a millennial consummation (cf. Rev 19:11-16).

[7:9]  ²⁴ tn The phrase “and here was” expresses the sense of καὶ ἰδού (kai idou).

[7:9]  ²⁵ tn Here καί (kai) has not been translated before each of the following categories, since English normally uses a coordinating conjunction only between the last two elements in a series of three or more.

[7:10]  ²⁶ tn The dative here has been translated as a dative of possession.
