[9:14]  1 tn Or “so that I might.”

[9:14]  2 tn Heb “all your praise.” “Praise” stands by metonymy for the mighty acts that prompt it.

[9:14]  3 sn Daughter Zion is an idiomatic title for Jerusalem. It appears frequently in the prophets, but only here in the psalms.

[9:14]  4 tn Heb “in your deliverance.”

[45:9]  5 tn Heb “daughters of kings.”

[45:9]  6 tn Heb “valuable ones.” The form is feminine plural.

[45:9]  7 tn This rare Hebrew noun apparently refers to the king’s bride, who will soon be queen (see Neh 2:6). The Aramaic cognate is used of royal wives in Dan 5:2-3, 23.

[45:9]  8 tn Heb “a consort stands at your right hand, gold of Ophir.”

[45:10]  9 tn Heb “daughter.” The Hebrew noun בת (“daughter”) can sometimes refer to a young woman in a general sense (see H. Haag, TDOT 2:334).

[45:10]  10 tn Heb “see and turn your ear.” The verb רָאָה (raah, “see”) is used here of mental observation.

[45:10]  11 tn Heb “your people.” This reference to the “people” of the princess suggests she was a foreigner. Perhaps the marriage was arranged as part of a political alliance between Israel (or Judah) and a neighboring state. The translation “your homeland” reflects such a situation.

[45:10]  12 tn Heb “and the house of your father.”

[137:8]  13 tn Heb “O devastated daughter of Babylon.” The psalmist dramatically anticipates Babylon’s demise.

[137:8]  14 tn Heb “O the happiness of the one who repays you your wage which you paid to us.”
