Psalms 136:13

136:13 to the one who divided ¹  the Red Sea ²  in two, ³ 

for his loyal love endures,

Psalms 88:5

88:5 adrift ⁴  among the dead,

like corpses lying in the grave,

whom you remember no more,

and who are cut off from your power. ⁵ 

[136:13]  ¹ tn Or “cut.”

[136:13]  ² tn Heb “Reed Sea” (also in v. 15). “Reed Sea” (or “Sea of Reeds”) is a more accurate rendering of the Hebrew expression יָם סוּף (yam suf), traditionally translated “Red Sea.” See the note on the term “Red Sea” in Exod 13:18.

[136:13]  ³ tn Heb “into pieces.”

[88:5]  ⁴ tn Heb “set free.”

[88:5]  ⁵ tn Heb “from your hand.”
