[34:16]  ¹ tn Heb “the face of the Lord [is] against the doers of evil to cut off from the earth memory of them.”

[44:15]  ² tn Heb “all the day my humiliation [is] in front of me.”

[44:15]  ³ tn Heb “and the shame of my face covers me.”

[69:7]  ³ tn Heb “carry, bear.”

[69:7]  ⁴ tn Heb “on account of you.”

[69:7]  ⁵ tn Heb “and shame covers my face.”

[84:9]  ⁴ tn The phrase “our shield” refers metaphorically to the Davidic king, who, as God’s vice-regent, was the human protector of the people. Note the parallelism with “your anointed one” here and with “our king” in Ps 89:18.

[84:9]  ⁵ tn Heb “look [on] the face of your anointed one.” The Hebrew phrase מְשִׁיחֶךָ (mÿshikhekha, “your anointed one”) refers here to the Davidic king (see Pss 2:2; 18:50; 20:6; 28:8; 89:38, 51; 132:10, 17).

[132:10]  ⁵ tn Heb “do not turn away the face of your anointed one.”
