[50:10]  1 tn Heb “[the] animals on a thousand hills.” The words “that graze” are supplied in the translation for clarification. The term בְּהֵמוֹה (bÿhemot, “animal”) refers here to cattle (see Ps 104:14).

[91:7]  2 tn Apparently the deadly disease mentioned in v. 6b is the understood subject here.

[105:8]  3 tn Heb “[the] word he commanded.” The text refers here to God’s unconditional covenantal promise to Abraham and the patriarchs, as vv. 10-12 make clear.

[119:72]  4 tn Heb “better to me [is] the law of your mouth than thousands of gold and silver.”

[68:17]  5 tn Heb “thousands of [?].” The meaning of the word שִׁנְאָן (shinan), which occurs only here in the OT, is uncertain. Perhaps the form should be emended to שַׁאֲנָן (shaanan, “at ease”) and be translated here “held in reserve.”

[68:17]  6 tc The MT reads, “the Lord [is] among them, Sinai, in holiness,” which is syntactically difficult. The present translation assumes an emendation to אֲדֹנָי בָּא מִסִּינַי (’adonay bamissinay; see BHS note b-b and Deut 33:2).

[90:4]  6 tn Or “for.”

[90:4]  7 sn The divisions of the nighttime. The ancient Israelites divided the night into distinct periods, or “watches.”

[84:10]  7 tn Or “for.”

[84:10]  8 tn Heb “better is a day in your courts than a thousand [spent elsewhere].”

[84:10]  9 tn Heb “I choose being at the entrance of the house of my God over living in the tents of the wicked.” The verb סָפַף (safaf) appears only here in the OT; it is derived from the noun סַף (saf, “threshold”). Traditionally some have interpreted this as a reference to being a doorkeeper at the temple, though some understand it to mean “lie as a beggar at the entrance to the temple” (see HALOT 765 s.v. ספף).

[84:10]  10 tn The verb דּוּר (dur, “to live”) occurs only here in the OT.

[60:1]  8 sn Psalm 60. The psalmist grieves over Israel’s humiliation, but in response to God’s assuring word, he asks for divine help in battle and expresses his confidence in victory.

[60:1]  9 tn The Hebrew expression means “lily of the testimony.” It may refer to a particular music style or to a tune title.

[60:1]  10 tn The precise meaning of the Hebrew word מִכְתָּם (miktam), which also appears in the heading to Pss 16, 56-59, is uncertain. HALOT 582-83 s.v. defines it as “inscription.”

[60:1]  11 tn Heb “to teach.”

[60:1]  12 tn In Josh 8:21 and Judg 20:48 the two verbs “turn back” and “strike down” are also juxtaposed. There they refer to a military counter-attack.

[60:1]  13 tn Heb “12,000 of Edom.” Perhaps one should read אֲרַם (’aram, “Aram”) here rather than אֱדוֹם (’edom, “Edom”).

[60:1]  14 sn The heading apparently refers to the military campaign recorded in 2 Sam 10 and 1 Chr 19.

[60:1]  15 sn You have rejected us. See Pss 43:2; 44:9, 23.

[60:1]  16 tn Heb “you broke out upon us, you were angry.”

[60:1]  17 tn The imperfect verbal form here expresses the psalmist’s wish or prayer.
