1 tn On the use of אִם (’im, “if”) here, see HALOT 60 s.v.
2 tn Heb “and act from [i.e., so as to prevent] harm so that I might not be in pain.”
3 tn Heb “and God brought about what he had asked.”
4 tn Heb “and David again asked God.”
5 tn The words “this time” are not in the Hebrew text.
6 tn The Hebrew word translated “trees” is defined by HALOT 129 s.v. בָּכָא as “shrubs.” Some translate “balsam trees” (see BDB 113 s.v. בָּכָא), cf. NASB, NIV, NRSV, NLT.
7 tn Or “tokens of peace”; NIV “fellowship offerings.”
8 tn Heb “and this was small in your eyes, O God, so you spoke concerning the house of your servant for a distance.”
9 tn The translation “You have revealed to me what men long to know” is very tentative; the meaning of the Hebrew text is unclear. The text appears to read literally, “and you see me like the searching of man, that which is upward,” which is nonsensical. The translation above assumes the following: (1) The Qal verb translated “you see me” is repointed as a Hiphil, “you showed me,” (2) תּוֹר (tor) is understood in the sense of “searching, exploring,” and (3) הַמַּעֲלָה (hamma’alah) is taken in a temporal sense of “that which lies beyond.” Thus one could translate, “you have shown me what men search for, what lies beyond.”
10 tn Heb “by the words of God to exalt a horn.” An animal’s horn is sometimes used metaphorically as a symbol of strength and honor. See BDB 901-2 s.v. קֶרֶנ.
11 tn Heb “a young man and tender.”
