1 tn Or “the one who.”

2 tn Heb “magnifies the victories of his king.” “His king” refers to the psalmist, the Davidic king whom God has chosen to rule Israel.

3 tn Heb “[the one who] does loyalty.”

4 tn Heb “his anointed [one],” i.e., the psalmist/Davidic king. See Ps 2:2.

5 tn Or “offspring”; Heb “seed.”

6 sn If David is the author of the psalm (see the superscription), then he here anticipates that God will continue to demonstrate loyalty to his descendants who succeed him. If the author is a later Davidic king, then he views the divine favor he has experienced as the outworking of God’s faithful promises to David his ancestor.

7 tn Heb “this [is the] generation of the ones seeking him, the ones seeking your face, Jacob.” To “seek the Lord’s face” means to seek his favor through prayer (see 2 Sam 21:1; Pss 27:8; 105:4).

sn This verse presents a somewhat idealized view of Jacobs descendants as devoted worshipers of the Lord.

8 tn Heb “the lovers of his name.” The phrase refers to those who are loyal to God (cf. v. 35). See Pss 5:11; 119:132; Isa 56:6.

9 sn Verses 35-36 appear to be an addition to the psalm from the time of the exile. The earlier lament reflects an individual’s situation, while these verses seem to reflect a communal application of it.

10 tn Or “offspring”; Heb “seed.”

11 tn Heb “before you will be established.”

12 tn Heb “but the loyal love of the Lord [is] from everlasting to everlasting over those who fear him.”

13 tn Heb “and his righteousness to sons of sons.”

14 tn Or “offspring”; Heb “seed.”

15 tc Some mss have “Israel,” which appears in the parallel version of this psalm in 1 Chr 16:13.

16 tn Heb “his”; the referent (God) has been specified in the translation for clarity.

17 tn Heb “sons.”

18 tn Heb “his”; the referent (God) has been specified in the translation for clarity.
