1 tn Heb “to know in the earth your way, among all nations your deliverance.” The infinitive with -לְ (lamed) expresses purpose/result. When God demonstrates his favor to his people, all nations will recognize his character as a God who delivers. The Hebrew term דֶּרֶךְ (derekh, “way”) refers here to God’s characteristic behavior, more specifically, to the way he typically saves his people.
2 tn Or “peoples.”
3 tn Heb “for you judge nations fairly, and [as for the] peoples in the earth, you lead them.” The imperfects are translated with the present tense because the statement is understood as a generalization about God’s providential control of the world. Another option is to understand the statement as anticipating God’s future rule (“for you will rule…and govern”).
4 tn Heb “this [is] the sea, great and broad of hands [i.e., “sides” or “shores”].”
5 tn Heb “where [there are] swimming things, and without number.”
6 tn Heb “be forever.”
7 tn Or “rejoice in his works.”
