Psalms 33:15

33:15 He is the one who forms every human heart, ¹ 

and takes note of all their actions.

Psalms 94:20

94:20 Cruel rulers ²  are not your allies,

those who make oppressive laws. ³ 

Psalms 95:5

95:5 The sea is his, for he made it.

His hands formed the dry land.

Psalms 104:26

104:26 The ships travel there,

and over here swims the whale ⁴  you made to play in it.

[33:15]  ¹ tn Heb “the one who forms together their heart[s].” “Heart” here refers to human nature, composed of intellect, emotions and will. The precise force of יָחַד (yakhad, “together”) is unclear here. The point seems to be that the Lord is the creator of every human being.

[94:20]  ² tn Heb “a throne of destruction.” “Throne” stands here by metonymy for rulers who occupy thrones.

[94:20]  ³ tn Heb “Is a throne of destruction united to you, one that forms trouble upon a statute?” The rhetorical question anticipates the answer, “Of course not!” The translation, while not preserving the interrogative form of the statement, reflects its rhetorical force.

[104:26]  ³ tn Heb “[and] this Leviathan, [which] you formed to play in it.” Elsewhere Leviathan is a multiheaded sea monster that symbolizes forces hostile to God (see Ps 74:14; Isa 27:1), but here it appears to be an actual marine creature created by God, probably some type of whale.
