[17:5]  1 tn Heb “my steps stay firm in your tracks.” The infinitive absolute functions here as a finite verb (see GKC 347 §113.gg). God’s “tracks” are his commands, i.e., the moral pathways he has prescribed for the psalmist.

[17:5]  2 tn Heb “my footsteps do not stagger.”

[37:31]  3 tn Heb “the law of his God [is] in his heart.” The “heart” is here the seat of one’s thoughts and motives.

[37:31]  4 tn Heb “his.” The pronoun has been translated as plural to agree with the representative or typical “godly” in v. 30.
