1 tn Heb “fathers.”
2 tn The words “in you” are supplied in the translation. They are understood by ellipsis (see the preceding line).
3 tn Or “for.”
4 sn The following line defines the phrase far from you in a spiritual sense. Those “far” from God are those who are unfaithful and disloyal to him.
5 tn Heb “everyone who commits adultery from you.”

7 tn Heb “[you] brutish among the people.”
8 tn The psalmist addresses the representative God-fearing man, as indicated by the references to “your wife” (v. 3) and “the man” (v. 4), as well as the second masculine singular pronominal and verbal forms in vv. 2-6.
9 tn Heb “the work of your hands, indeed you will eat.”
10 tn Heb “how blessed you [will be] and it will be good for you.”
