[72:20]  ¹ tn Heb “the prayers of David, son of Jesse, are concluded.” As noted earlier, v. 20 appears to be a remnant of an earlier collection of psalms or an earlier edition of the Psalter. In the present arrangement of the Book of Psalms, not all psalms prior to this are attributed to David (see Pss 1-2, 10, 33, 42-50, 66-67, 71-72) and several psalms attributed to David appear after this (see Pss 86, 101, 103, 108-110, 122, 124, 131, 138-145).

[78:33]  ² tn Heb “and he ended in vanity their days.”

[78:33]  ³ tn Heb “and their years in terror.”

[90:7]  ³ tn Or “for.”

[119:81]  ⁴ tn Heb “my soul pines for.” See Ps 84:2.

[119:82]  ⁵ tn Heb “my eyes fail for your word.” The psalmist has intently kept his eyes open, looking for God to intervene, but now his eyes are watery and bloodshot, impairing his vision. See Ps 69:3.

[119:82]  ⁶ tn Heb “saying.”

[119:123]  ⁶ tn Heb “my eyes fail for your deliverance.” The psalmist has intently kept his eyes open, looking for God to intervene, but now his eyes are watery and bloodshot, impairing his vision. See the similar phrase in v. 82.

[119:123]  ⁷ tn Heb “and for the word of your faithfulness.”
