[25:20]  1 tn Or “my life.”

[144:7]  2 tn Heb “stretch out your hands.”

[144:7]  3 tn Heb “mighty waters.” The waters of the sea symbolize the psalmist’s powerful foreign enemies, as well as the realm of death they represent (see the next line and Ps 18:16-17).

[144:7]  4 tn Heb “from the hand of the sons of foreignness.”

[144:11]  3 tn Heb “from the hand of the sons of foreignness.”

[144:11]  4 tn Heb “who [with] their mouth speak falsehood, and their right hand is a right hand of falsehood.” See v. 8 where the same expression occurs.

[7:1]  4 sn Psalm 7. The psalmist asks the Lord to intervene and deliver him from his enemies. He protests his innocence and declares his confidence in God’s justice.

[7:1]  5 tn The precise meaning of the Hebrew term שִׁגָּיוֹן (shiggayon; translated here “musical composition”) is uncertain. Some derive the noun from the verbal root שָׁגָה (shagah, “swerve, reel”) and understand it as referring to a “wild, passionate song, with rapid changes of rhythm” (see BDB 993 s.v. שִׁגָּיוֹן). But this proposal is purely speculative. The only other appearance of the noun is in Hab 3:1, where it occurs in the plural.

[7:1]  6 tn Or “on account of.”

[7:1]  7 sn Apparently this individual named Cush was one of David’s enemies.

[7:1]  8 tn The Hebrew perfect verbal form probably refers here to a completed action with continuing results.
