[37:9]  ¹ tn Heb “for evil men.” The conjunction כִּי (ki, “for”) relates to the exhortations in v. 8; there is no reason to be frustrated, for the evildoers will be punished in due time.

[37:9]  ³ tn Heb “and those who wait on the Lord, they will possess the land.”

[83:12]  ⁸ tn Heb “let’s take possession for ourselves.”

[105:44]  ¹⁰ tn Heb “and the [product of the] work of peoples they possessed.”
