[22:18]  ¹ tn Heb “casting lots.” The precise way in which this would have been done is not certain.

[41:10]  ² tn The cohortative with prefixed vav (ו) here indicates purpose or result (“Then I will repay them”) after the preceding imperatives.

[69:11]  ³ tn Heb “and I am an object of ridicule to them.”

[78:25]  ⁴ sn Because of the reference to “heaven” in the preceding verse, it is likely that mighty ones refers here to the angels of heaven. The LXX translates “angels” here, as do a number of modern translations (NEB, NIV, NRSV).

[78:25]  ⁵ tn Heb “provision he sent to them to satisfaction.”

[83:9]  ⁵ tn Heb “do to them like Midian.”

[83:9]  ⁶ sn The psalmist alludes here to Gideon’s victory over the Midianites (see Judg 7-8) and to Barak’s victory over Jabin’s army, which was led by his general Sisera (Judg 4-5).

[104:28]  ⁶ tn Heb “they are satisfied [with] good.”

[105:44]  ⁷ tn Heb “and the [product of the] work of peoples they possessed.”

[106:34]  ⁸ tn That is, the nations of Canaan.

[109:25]  ⁹ tn Heb “as for me, I am a reproach to them.”

[109:25]  ¹⁰ sn They shake their heads. Apparently shaking the head was a taunting gesture. See also Job 16:4; Ps 22:7; Lam 2:15.

[111:6]  ¹⁰ tn Heb “the strength of his deeds he proclaimed to his people, to give to them an inheritance of nations.”
