1 tn Heb “to cause to be heard the sound of thanksgiving.”
2 tn The two infinitival forms (both with prefixed preposition -לְ, lamed) give the purpose for his appearance at the altar.
3 tn Heb “[be] blessed.” See Pss 18:46; 28:6; 31:21; 41:13.
4 tn Heb “[the] one who does amazing things by himself.”
5 tn Heb “his deeds.”
6 tn Heb “and did not believe in his amazing deeds.”
7 tn The verb “tell” is understood by ellipsis (note the preceding line).
8 tn Apparently the pronoun refers to “his servants” (i.e., the Israelites, see v. 25).
9 tn Or “awe-inspiring.”
10 tn Or “did,” if this refers primarily to the events of the exodus and conquest period (see vv. 6, 9).
11 tn Heb “a memorial he had made for his amazing deeds.”
12 tn Heb “it is amazing in our eyes.” The use of the plural pronoun here and in vv. 24-27 suggests that the psalmist may be speaking for the entire nation. However, it is more likely that vv. 22-27 are the people’s response to the psalmist’s thanksgiving song (see especially v. 26). They rejoice with him because his deliverance on the battlefield (see vv. 10-12) had national repercussions.
13 tc Heb “because awesome things, I am distinct, amazing [are] your works.” The text as it stands is syntactically problematic and makes little, if any, sense. The Niphal of פָּלָה (pala’) occurs elsewhere only in Exod 33:16. Many take the form from פָלָא (pala’; see GKC 216 §75.qq), which in the Niphal perfect means “to be amazing” (see 2 Sam 1:26; Ps 118:23; Prov 30:18). Some, following the LXX and some other ancient witnesses, also prefer to emend the verb from first to second person, “you are amazing” (see L. C. Allen, Psalms 101-150 [WBC], 249, 251). The present translation assumes the text conflates two variants: נפלאים, the otherwise unattested masculine plural participle of פָלָא, and נִפְלָאוֹת (nifla’ot), the usual (feminine) plural form of the Niphal participle. The latter has been changed to a verb by later scribes in an attempt to accommodate it syntactically. The original text likely read, נוראות נפלאותים מעשׂיך (“your works [are] awesome [and] amazing”).
14 tc Heb “and my being knows very much.” Better parallelism is achieved (see v. 15a) if one emends יֹדַעַת (yoda’at), a Qal active participle, feminine singular form, to יָדַעְתָּ (yada’ta), a Qal perfect second masculine singular perfect. See L. C. Allen, Psalms 101-150 (WBC), 252.
15 tn Heb “the splendor of the glory of your majesty, and the matters of your amazing deeds I will ponder.”
