Psalms 44:12

44:12 You sold ⁴  your people for a pittance; ⁵ 

you did not ask a high price for them. ⁶ 

[41:13]  ¹ tn Heb “[be] blessed.” See Pss 18:46; 28:6; 31:21.

[41:13]  ² tn Heb “from everlasting to everlasting.” See 1 Chr 16:36; Neh 9:5; Pss 90:2; 106:48.

[41:13]  ³ tn Heb “surely and surely” (אָמֵן וְאָמֵן [’amen vÿ’amen], i.e., “amen and amen”). This is probably a congregational response to the immediately preceding statement about the propriety of praising God.

[44:12]  ⁴ tn The prefixed verbal form is a preterite (without vav [ו] consecutive).

[44:12]  ⁵ tn Heb “for what is not wealth.”

[44:12]  ⁶ tn Heb “you did not multiply their purchase prices.”
