1 tn Heb “your assembly,” which pictures God’s people as an assembled community.
2 tn Heb “redeemed.” The verb “redeem” casts God in the role of a leader who protects members of his extended family in times of need and crisis (see Ps 19:14).
3 tn Heb “the tribe of your inheritance” (see Jer 10:16; 51:19).
4 tn Heb “I will remember my song in the night, with my heart I will reflect. And my spirit searched.” As in v. 4, the words of v. 6a are understood as what the psalmist said earlier.

5 tn Heb “set free.”
6 tn Heb “from your hand.”
7 tn Heb “remember, O
8 tn Heb “lay [it] bare, lay [it] bare.”
