1 tn Heb “their.” The antecedent of the plural pronoun is “heavens” (v. 1).

2 tn Heb “moreover your servant is warned by them.”

3 tn Heb “in the keeping of them [there is] a great reward.”

4 tn The imperfect verbal forms in v. 9 have a modal function, expressing what is obligatory.

5 tn Heb “different”; “illicit.”

6 tn Heb “the Lord records in the writing of the nations.”

7 tn As noted in v. 4, the translation assumes a contrast between “there” (the various foreign lands) and “in her” (Zion). In contrast to foreigners, the citizens of Zion have special status because of their birthplace (v. 5). In this case vv. 4 and 6 form a structural frame around v. 5.

8 tn Heb “[and] this Leviathan, [which] you formed to play in it.” Elsewhere Leviathan is a multiheaded sea monster that symbolizes forces hostile to God (see Ps 74:14; Isa 27:1), but here it appears to be an actual marine creature created by God, probably some type of whale.

9 tn Heb “he gave their rains hail.”

10 tn Heb “fire of flames [was] in their land.”

11 tn or “security.”

12 tn The psalmist uses second feminine singular pronominal forms to address personified Jerusalem.

13 tn Heb “and great of strength.”

14 tn Heb “to his wisdom there is no counting.”
