[22:27]  ¹ tn Heb “may all the ends of the earth remember and turn to the Lord.” The prefixed verbal forms in v. 27 are understood as jussives (cf. NEB). Another option (cf. NIV, NRSV) is to take the forms as imperfects and translate, “all the people of the earth will acknowledge and turn…and worship.” See vv. 29-32.

[22:27]  ² tn Heb “families of the nations.”

[22:27]  ³ tn Heb “before you.”

[61:6]  ⁴ tn Heb “days upon days of the king add, his years like generation and generation.”

[73:12]  ⁷ tn Heb “Look, these [are] the wicked.”

[73:12]  ⁸ tn Heb “the ones who are always at ease [who] increase wealth.”
