[48:10]  ¹ tn Heb “like your name, O God, so [is] your praise to the ends of the earth.” Here “name” refers to God’s reputation and revealed character.

[48:10]  ² tn Heb “your right hand is full of justice.” The “right hand” suggests activity and power.

[102:21]  ³ tn Heb “his praise.”

[102:21]  ⁴ map For location see Map5 B1; Map6 F3; Map7 E2; Map8 F2; Map10 B3; JP1 F4; JP2 F4; JP3 F4; JP4 F4.

[104:9]  ⁵ tn Heb “a boundary you set up, they will not cross, they will not return to cover the earth.”

[119:42]  ⁷ tn Heb “and I will answer [the] one who insults me a word.” The prefixed verbal form with vav (ו) conjunctive indicates purpose/result after the jussive (see v. 41).

[135:18]  ⁹ tn Heb “will be.” Another option is to take the prefixed verbal form as a prayer, “may those who make them end up like them.”
