95:9 where your ancestors challenged my authority, ⁸ 

and tried my patience, even though they had seen my work.

[48:5]  ¹ tn The object of “see” is omitted, but v. 3b suggests that the Lord’s self-revelation as the city’s defender is what they see.

[48:5]  ² tn Heb “they look, so they are shocked.” Here כֵּן (ken, “so”) has the force of “in the same measure.”

[48:5]  ³ tn The translation attempts to reflect the staccato style of the Hebrew text, where the main clauses of vv. 4-6 are simply juxtaposed without connectives.

[68:24]  ⁴ tn The subject is probably indefinite, referring to bystanders in general who witness the procession.

[68:24]  ⁵ tn The Hebrew text has simply “in holiness.” The words “who marches along” are supplied in the translation for stylistic reasons.

[69:32]  ⁷ sn You who seek God refers to those who seek to have a relationship with God by obeying and worshiping him (see Ps 53:2).

[69:32]  ⁸ tn Heb “may your heart[s] live.” See Ps 22:26.

[95:9]  ¹⁰ tn Heb “where your fathers tested me.”
