80:14 O God, invincible warrior, 1 come back!
Look down from heaven and take notice!
Take care of this vine,
102:19 For he will look down from his sanctuary above; 2
from heaven the Lord will look toward earth, 3
135:6 He does whatever he pleases
in heaven and on earth,
in the seas and all the ocean depths.
146:6 the one who made heaven and earth,
the sea, and all that is in them,
who remains forever faithful, 4
1 tn Heb “O God, hosts.” One expects the construct form אֱלֹהֵי before צְבָאוֹת (tsÿva’ot, “hosts”; see Ps 89:9), but יְהוָה אֱלֹהִים (yehvah ’elohim) precedes צְבָאוֹת (tsÿva’ot) in Pss 59:5 and 84:8 as well. See also vv. 4, 7 for a similar construction.
2 tn Heb “from the height of his sanctuary.”
3 tn The perfect verbal forms in v. 19 are functioning as future perfects, indicating future actions that will precede the future developments described in v. 18.
4 tn Heb “the one who guards faithfulness forever.”
