[37:30]  ¹ tn Heb “The mouth of the godly [one] utters wisdom, and his tongue speaks justice.” The singular form is used in a representative sense; the typical godly individual is in view. The imperfect verbal forms draw attention to the characteristic behavior of the godly.

[81:4]  ² tn Heb “because a statute for Israel [is] it.”

[119:84]  ³ tn Heb “How long are the days of your servant?”

[119:160]  ⁴ tn Heb “the head of your word is truth, and forever [is] all your just regulation.” The term “head” is used here of the “sum total” of God’s instructions.
