¹ tn The words “their sin” are not in the Hebrew text, but are supplied for clarification.

² tn Heb “and act and give to each one according to all his ways because you know his heart.” In the Hebrew text vv. 28-30a actually contain one lengthy conditional sentence, which the translation has divided up for stylistic reasons.

³ tn Heb “Indeed you know, you alone, the heart of all the sons of mankind.”

⁴ tn Heb “When your people go out for battle against their enemies in the way which you send them.”
