1 tn Or “our lives.” The suffixed form of נֶפֶשׁ (nefesh, “being, life”) is often equivalent to a pronoun in poetic texts.

2 tn Or “[source of] help.”

3 tn Or “protector.”

4 tn Or “my helper.”

5 tn Or “sustain my life.”

6 tn Heb “my high rocky summit.”

7 tn Or “my elevated place” (see Ps 18:2).

8 tn The Hebrew text adds רַבָּה (rabbah, “greatly”) at the end of the line. It is unusual for this adverb to follow a negated verb. Some see this as qualifying the assertion to some degree, but this would water down the affirmation too much (see v. 6b, where the adverb is omitted). If the adverb has a qualifying function, it would suggest that the psalmist might be upended, though not severely. This is inconsistent with the confident mood of the psalm. The adverb probably has an emphatic force here, “I will not be greatly upended” meaning “I will not be annihilated.”

9 tn Heb “my high rocky summit.”

10 tn Or “my elevated place” (see Ps 18:2).

11 sn The wording is identical to that of v. 2, except that רַבָּה (rabbah, “greatly”) does not appear in v. 6.

12 tn Heb “my high rocky summit.”

13 tn Heb “and [that] God Most High [was] their redeemer.”

14 tn Heb “break your displeasure with us.” Some prefer to emend הָפֵר (hafer, “break”) to הָסֵר (haser, “turn aside”).

15 tn Or “[source of] help.”

16 tn Heb “and their shield.”

17 tn Heb “house.”

18 tn Or “[source of] help.”

19 tn Heb “and their shield.”

20 tn Heb “[you] fearers of the Lord.” See Ps 15:4.

21 tn Or “[source of] help.”

22 tn Heb “and their shield.”

23 tn Heb “my strength and protection [is] the Lord.” The Hebrew term זִמְרָת (zimrat) is traditionally understood as meaning “song” (“my strength and song [is] the Lord”) in which case one might translate, “for the Lord gives me strength and joy” (i.e., a reason to sing). However, many recent commentators have argued that the noun זִמְרָת is here a homonym, meaning “protection” or “strength.” See HALOT 274 s.v.; cf. NEB “The Lord is my refuge and defence”; NRSV “my strength and my might.”

24 tn Or “salvation.”

25 tn Heb “our help [is] in the name of the Lord.”

26 tn Or “Maker.”

27 tn Heb “the strength of my deliverance.”

28 tn Heb “cover.”
