[37:37]  ¹ tn Or “upright.”

[37:37]  ² tn Heb “for [there is] an end for a man of peace.” Some interpret אַחֲרִית (’akharit, “end”) as referring to offspring (see the next verse and Ps 109:13; cf. NEB, NRSV).

[64:4]  ¹ tn The psalmist uses the singular because he is referring to himself here as representative of a larger group.

[64:4]  ² tn Heb “and are unafraid.” The words “of retaliation” are supplied in the translation for clarification.
