Psalms 148:12

148:12 you young men and young women,

you elderly, along with you children!

[106:6]  ¹ tn Heb “with.”

[106:6]  ² tn Heb “fathers” (also in v. 7).

[107:32]  ³ tn Heb “in the seat of the elders.”

[115:13]  ⁵ tn Heb “the fearers of the Lord.”

[115:13]  ⁶ tn Heb “the small along with the great.” The translation assumes that “small” and “great” here refer to age (see 2 Chr 15:13). Another option is to translate “both the insignificant and the prominent” (see Job 3:19; cf. NEB “high and low alike”).

[119:65]  ⁷ tn Heb “do good.”

[119:65]  ⁸ tn Heb “according to your word.”

[119:124]  ⁹ tn Heb “do with your servant according to your loyal love.”

[120:4]  ¹¹ tn The words “here’s how” are supplied in the translation as a clarification. In v. 4 the psalmist answers the question he raises in v. 3.

[120:4]  ¹² tn Heb “with coals of the wood of the broom plant.” The wood of the broom plant was used to make charcoal, which in turn was used to fuel the fire used to forge the arrowheads.
