at the sky and the earth.

[22:17]  ¹ tn The imperfect verbal forms in vv. 17-18 draw attention to the progressive nature of the action.

[22:17]  ² tn Heb “they.” The masculine form indicates the enemies are in view. The referent (the psalmist’s enemies) has been specified in the translation for clarity.

[22:17]  ³ tn Heb “they gaze, they look upon me.”

[104:27]  ⁴ tn Heb “All of them.” The pronoun “them” refers not just to the sea creatures mentioned in vv. 25-26, but to all living things (see v. 24). This has been specified in the translation as “all of your creatures” for clarity.

[104:27]  ⁵ tn Heb “to give their food in its time.”

[113:6]  ⁷ tn Heb “the one who makes low to see.”
