79:6 Pour out your anger on the nations that do not acknowledge you, 1
on the kingdoms that do not pray to you! 2
100:3 Acknowledge that the Lord is God!
He made us and we belong to him; 3
we are his people, the sheep of his pasture.
1 tn Heb “which do not know you.” Here the Hebrew term “know” means “acknowledge the authority of.”
2 sn The kingdoms that do not pray to you. The people of these kingdoms pray to other gods, not the Lord, because they do not recognize his authority over them.
3 tn The present translation (like most modern translations) follows the Qere (marginal reading), which reads literally, “and to him [are] we.” The Kethib (consonantal text) has “and not we.” The suffixed preposition לו (“to him”) was confused aurally with the negative particle לא because the two sound identical.
