Psalms 86:8

Context

Psalms 113:5

Context

113:5 Who can compare to the Lord our God,

who sits on a high throne? 5 

1 sn Verses 13-20 are the content of the psalmist’s reflection (see vv. 11-12). As he thought about God’s work in Israel’s past, he reached the place where he could confidently cry out for God’s help (see v. 1).

2 tn Heb “O God, in holiness [is] your way.” God’s “way” here refers to his actions. “Holiness” is used here in the sense of “set apart, unique,” rather than in a moral/ethical sense. As the next line and the next verse emphasize, God’s deeds are incomparable and set him apart as the one true God.

3 tn Heb “Who [is] a great god like God?” The rhetorical question assumes the answer, “No one!”

4 tn Heb “and there are none like your acts.”

5 tn Heb “the one who makes high to sit.”
