65:13 The meadows are clothed with sheep,
and the valleys are covered with grain.
They shout joyfully, yes, they sing.
77:6 I said, “During the night I will remember the song I once sang;
I will think very carefully.”
I tried to make sense of what was happening. 1
149:1 Praise the Lord!
Sing to the Lord a new song!
Praise him in the assembly of the godly! 3
1 tn Heb “I will remember my song in the night, with my heart I will reflect. And my spirit searched.” As in v. 4, the words of v. 6a are understood as what the psalmist said earlier. Consequently the words “I said” are supplied in the translation for clarification (see v. 10). The prefixed verbal form with vav (ו) consecutive at the beginning of the final line is taken as sequential to the perfect “I thought” in v. 6.
2 sn Psalm 149. The psalmist calls upon God’s people to praise him because he is just and avenges them.
3 tn Heb “his praise in the assembly of the godly ones.”
