[21:5]  ¹ tn Or “great glory.”

[21:5]  ² tn Heb “majesty and splendor you place upon him.” For other uses of the phrase הוֹד וְהָדָר (hod vÿhadar, “majesty and splendor”) see 1 Chr 16:27; Job 40:10; Pss 96:6; 104:1; 111:3.

[77:13]  ³ sn Verses 13-20 are the content of the psalmist’s reflection (see vv. 11-12). As he thought about God’s work in Israel’s past, he reached the place where he could confidently cry out for God’s help (see v. 1).

[77:13]  ⁴ tn Heb “O God, in holiness [is] your way.” God’s “way” here refers to his actions. “Holiness” is used here in the sense of “set apart, unique,” rather than in a moral/ethical sense. As the next line and the next verse emphasize, God’s deeds are incomparable and set him apart as the one true God.

[77:13]  ⁵ tn Heb “Who [is] a great god like God?” The rhetorical question assumes the answer, “No one!”

[86:13]  ⁵ tn Heb “for your loyal love [is] great over me.”

[86:13]  ⁶ tn Or “for he will have delivered my life.” The verb form indicates a future perfect here.

[86:13]  ⁷ tn Or “lower Sheol.”

[99:2]  ⁷ tn Heb “great.”

[138:5]  ⁹ tn Heb “ways.”

[138:5]  ¹⁰ tn Heb “great.”

[145:3]  ¹¹ tn Heb “and concerning his greatness there is no searching.”

[145:8]  ¹³ tn Heb “slow to anger” (see Pss 86:15; 103:8).

[145:8]  ¹⁴ tn Heb “and great of loyal love” (see Pss 86:15; 103:8).

[147:5]  ¹⁵ tn Heb “and great of strength.”

[147:5]  ¹⁶ tn Heb “to his wisdom there is no counting.”
