[107:23] 1 sn Verses 23-30, which depict the Lord rescuing sailors from a storm at sea, do not seem to describe the exiles’ situation, unless the word picture is metaphorical. Perhaps the psalmist here broadens his scope and offers an example of God’s kindness to the needy beyond the covenant community.
[107:23] 2 tn Heb “those going down [into].”
[107:23] 3 tn Heb “doers of work on the mighty waters.”
[73:28] 4 tn Heb “but as for me, the nearness of God for me [is] good.”
[73:28] 5 tn The infinitive construct with -לְ (lÿ) is understood here as indicating an attendant circumstance. Another option is to take it as indicating purpose (“so that I might declare”) or result (“with the result that I declare”).
