[128:6]  1 tn The imperative with prefixed vav (ו) conjunctive indicates purpose/result after the jussive in v. 5a.

[128:6]  2 tn Heb “sons to your sons.”

[128:6]  3 tn Heb “peace [be] upon Israel.” The statement is understood as a prayer (see Ps 125:5).

[34:11]  4 tn Heb “the fear of the Lord I will teach you.” In vv. 13-14 the psalmist explains to his audience what it means to “fear” the Lord.

[103:13]  7 tn Or “sons,” but the Hebrew term sometimes refers to children in general.

[103:13]  8 tn Heb “those who fear him.”

[127:3]  10 tn or “look.”

[127:3]  11 tn Some prefer to translate this term with the gender neutral “children,” but “sons” are plainly in view here, as the following verses make clear. Daughters are certainly wonderful additions to a family, but in ancient Israelite culture sons were the “arrows” that gave a man security in his old age, for they could defend the family interests at the city gate, where the legal and economic issues of the community were settled.

[78:6]  13 tn Heb “in order that they might know, a following generation, sons [who] will be born, they will arise and will tell to their sons.”

[103:17]  16 tn Heb “but the loyal love of the Lord [is] from everlasting to everlasting over those who fear him.”

[103:17]  17 tn Heb “and his righteousness to sons of sons.”

[17:14]  19 tc Heb “from men [by] your hand, Lord.” The translation assumes an emendation (both here and in the following line) of מִמְתִים (mimtim, “from men”) to מִמְמִתִים (mimmitim, “from those who kill”). For other uses of the plural form of the Hiphil participle of מוּת (mut, “die”), see 2 Kgs 17:26 (used with lions as subject), Job 33:22 (apparently referring to the agents of death), and Jer 26:15 (used of those seeking Jeremiah’s life).

[17:14]  20 tn Heb “from men, from [the] world.” On the emendation of “men” to “murderers,” see the preceding note on the word “murderers.”

[17:14]  21 tn Heb “their portion, in life.”

[17:14]  22 tn Heb “and [with] your treasures you fill their belly.”

[17:14]  23 tn Heb “they are satisfied [with] sons and leave their abundance to their children.”
