[78:29]  ¹ tn Heb “and they ate and were very satisfied.”

[91:16]  ² tn Heb “length of days.”

[103:5]  ³ tc Heb “who satisfies with the good of your ornaments.” The text as it stands makes little, if any, sense. The translation assumes an emendation of עֶדְיֵךְ (’ed’ekh, “your ornaments”) to עֹדֵכִי (’odekhiy, “your duration; your continuance”) that is, “your life” (see L. C. Allen, Psalms 101-150 [WBC], 18).

[103:5]  ⁴ sn The expression your youth is renewed like an eagle’s may allude to the phenomenon of molting, whereby the eagle grows new feathers.

[105:40]  ⁴ tn Heb “he [i.e., his people] asked.” The singular form should probably be emended to a plural שָׁאֲלוּ (sha’alu, “they asked”), the vav (ו) having fallen off by haplography (note the vav at the beginning of the following form).

[105:40]  ⁵ tn Or “bread of heaven.” The reference is to manna (see Exod 16:4, 13-15).

[132:15]  ⁵ tn Heb “I will greatly bless her provision.” The infinitive absolute is used to emphasize the verb.

[132:15]  ⁶ tn Heb “her poor I will satisfy [with] food.”

[147:14]  ⁶ tn Heb “the one who.”

[147:14]  ⁷ tn Heb “he makes your boundary peace.”

[147:14]  ⁸ tn Heb “satisfies you with.”
