Psalms 9:20

Context

9:20 Terrify them, Lord!¹

Let the nations know they are mere mortals!² (Selah)

Psalms 76:11

Context

76:11 Make vows to the Lord your God and repay them!

Let all those who surround him³ bring tribute to the awesome one!

[9:20] ¹tn Heb “place, Lord, terror with regard to them.” The Hebrew term מוֹרָה (morah, “terror”) is an alternative form of מוֹרָא (mora’; a reading that appears in some mss and finds support in several ancient textual witnesses).

[9:20] ²tn Heb “let the nations know they [are] man[kind]”; i.e., mere human beings (as opposed to God).

[76:11] ³tn The phrase “all those who surround him” may refer to the surrounding nations (v. 12 may favor this), but in Ps 89:7 the phrase refers to God’s heavenly assembly.
