Psalms 75:7

like one who finds much plunder. ⁴ 

Psalms 145:4

145:4 One generation will praise your deeds to another,

and tell about your mighty acts! ⁵ 

[75:7]  ¹ tn Or “judges.”

[75:7]  ² tn The imperfects here emphasize the generalizing nature of the statement.

[106:11]  ³ tn Heb “remained.”

[119:162]  ⁵ tn Heb “like one who finds great plunder.” See Judg 5:30. The image is that of a victorious warrior who finds a large amount of plunder on the field of battle.

[145:4]  ⁷ tn The prefixed verbal forms in v. 4 are understood as imperfects, indicating how the psalmist expects his audience to respond to his praise. Another option is to take the forms as jussives, indicating the psalmist’s wish, “may one generation praise…and tell about.”
