[25:7]  1 tn Heb “do not remember,” with the intention of punishing.

[25:7]  2 sn That is, the sins characteristic of youths, who lack moral discretion and wisdom.

[25:7]  3 tn Heb “according to your faithfulness, remember me, you, for the sake of your goodness, O Lord.”

[69:13]  4 tn Heb “as for me, [may] my prayer be to you, O Lord, [in] a time of favor.”

[69:13]  5 tn Heb “O God, in the abundance of your loyal love, answer me in the faithfulness of your deliverance.”

[79:8]  6 tn Heb “do not remember against us sins, former.” Some understand “former” as an attributive adjective modifying sins, “former [i.e., chronologically prior] sins” (see BDB 911 s.v. רִאשׁוֹן). The present translation assumes that ראשׁנים (“former”) here refers to those who lived formerly, that is, the people’s ancestors (see Lam 5:7). The word is used in this way in Lev 26:45; Deut 19:14 and Eccl 1:11.

[79:8]  7 tn Heb “may your compassion quickly confront us.” The prefixed verbal form is understood as a jussive, indicating a tone of prayer.

[79:8]  8 tn Heb “for we are very low.”

[79:9]  9 tn Heb “the glory of your name.” Here and in the following line “name” stands metonymically for God’s reputation.

[79:9]  10 tn Heb “your name.”

[9:18]  11 tn Heb “turn your ear.”

[9:18]  12 tn Heb “desolations.” The term refers here to the ruined condition of Judah’s towns.

[9:18]  13 tn Heb “over which your name is called.” Cf. v. 19. This expression implies that God is the owner of his city, Jerusalem. Note the use of the idiom in 2 Sam 12:28; Isa 4:1; Amos 9:12.

[9:18]  14 tn Heb “praying our supplications before you.”

[1:6]  15 tn Or “to the praise of his glorious grace.” Many translations translate δόξης τῆς χάριτος αὐτοῦ (doxh" th" carito" autou, literally “of the glory of his grace”) with τῆς χάριτος as an attributed genitive (cf., e.g., NIV, NRSV, ESV). The translation above has retained a literal rendering in order to make clear the relationship of this phrase to the other two similar phrases in v. 12 and 14, which affect the way one divides the material in the passage.

[1:6]  16 tn Grk “the beloved.” The term ἠγαπημένῳ (hgaphmenw) means “beloved,” but often bears connotations of “only beloved” in an exclusive sense. “His dearly loved Son” picks up this connotation.

[2:7]  17 tn Or possibly “to the Aeons who are about to come.”

[2:7]  18 tn Or “upon.”

[2:8]  19 tn See note on the same expression in v. 5.

[2:8]  20 tc The feminine article is found before πίστεως (pistews, “faith”) in the Byzantine text as well as in A Ψ 1881 pc. Perhaps for some scribes the article was intended to imply creedal fidelity as a necessary condition of salvation (“you are saved through the faith”), although elsewhere in the corpus Paulinum the phrase διὰ τῆς πίστεως (dia th" pistew") is used for the act of believing rather than the content of faith (cf. Rom 3:30, 31; Gal 3:14; Eph 3:17; Col 2:12). On the other side, strong representatives of the Alexandrian and Western texts (א B D* F G P 0278 6 33 1739 al bo) lack the article. Hence, both text-critically and exegetically, the meaning of the text here is most likely “saved through faith” as opposed to “saved through the faith.” Regarding the textual problem, the lack of the article is the preferred reading.
