Discovery BoxPsalms 40:10 
Context40:10 I have not failed to tell about your justice; 1
I spoke about your reliability and deliverance;
I have not neglected to tell the great assembly about your loyal love and faithfulness. 2
Psalms 65:5
Context65:5 You answer our prayers by performing awesome acts of deliverance,
O God, our savior. 3
All the ends of the earth trust in you, 4
as well as those living across the wide seas. 5
1 tn Heb “your justice I have not hidden in the midst of my heart.”
2 tn Heb “I have not hidden your loyal love and reliability.”
3 tn Heb “[with] awesome acts in deliverance you answer us, O God of our salvation.”
4 tn Heb “a source of confidence [for] all the ends of the earth.”
sn All the ends of the earth trust in you. This idealistic portrayal of universal worship is typical hymnic hyperbole, though it does anticipate eschatological reality.
5 tc Heb “and [the] distant sea.” The plural adjective is problematic after the singular form “sea.” One could emend יָם (yam, “sea”) to יָמִים (yamim, “seas”), or emend the plural form רְחֹקִים (rÿkhoqim, “far”) to the singular רָחֹק (rakhoq). In this case the final mem (ם) could be treated as dittographic; note the mem on the beginning of the first word in v. 6.
