Discovery Box| (0.30) | (Psa 77:6) | 1 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. Consequently the words “I said” are supplied in the translation for clarification (see v. 10). The prefixed verbal form with vav (ו) consecutive at the beginning of the final line is taken as sequential to the perfect “I thought” in v. 6. |
| (0.30) | (Psa 71:6) | 2 tc The form in the MT is derived from גָּזָה (gazah, “to cut off”), perhaps picturing God as the one who severed the psalmist’s umbilical cord. Many interpreters and translators prefer to emend the text to גֹחִי (gokhi), from גוּח (gukh) or גִּיח, (gikh, “pull out”; see Ps 22:9; cf. the present translation) or to עוּזִּי (ʿuzzi, “my strength”; cf. NEB “my protector since I left my mother’s womb”). |
| (0.30) | (Psa 43:5) | 4 tc Heb “for again I will give him thanks, the saving acts of my face and my God.” The last line should be emended to read יְשׁוּעֹת פְנֵי אֱלֹהָי (yeshuʿot fene ʾelohay, “[for] the saving acts of the face of my God,” that is, the saving acts associated with God’s presence/intervention. This refrain is identical to the one in Ps 42:11. See also 42:5, which differs only slightly. |
| (0.30) | (Psa 42:11) | 4 tc Heb “for again I will give him thanks, the saving acts of my face and my God.” The last line should be emended to read יְשׁוּעֹת פְנֵי אֱלֹהָי (yeshuʿot feney ʾelohay, “[for] the saving acts of the face of my God”), that is, the saving acts associated with God’s presence/intervention. This refrain is almost identical to the one in v. 5. See also Ps 43:5. |
| (0.30) | (Psa 28:7) | 5 tn Heb “and from my song I will thank him.” As pointed in the Hebrew text, מִשִּׁירִי (mishiri) appears to be “from my song,” but the preposition “from” never occurs elsewhere with the verb “to thank” (Hiphil of יָדָה, yadah). Perhaps משׁיר is a noun form meaning “song.” If so, it can be taken as an adverbial accusative, “and [with] my song I will thank him.” See P. C. Craigie, Psalms 1-50 (WBC), 236. |
| (0.30) | (Rev 3:12) | 4 sn This description of the city of my God is parenthetical, explaining further the previous phrase and interrupting the list of “new names” given here. |
| (0.30) | (Phm 1:19) | 3 sn With my own hand. Paul may have considered this letter so delicate that he wrote the letter himself as opposed to using an amanuensis or secretary. |

| (0.30) | (Phm 1:10) | 3 sn During my imprisonment. Apparently Onesimus became a believer under Paul’s shepherding while he [Paul] was a prisoner in Rome. |
| (0.30) | (2Ti 3:10) | 2 tn The possessive “my” occurs only at the beginning of the list but is positioned in Greek to apply to each of the words in the series. |
| (0.30) | (Phi 1:7) | 3 tn Grk “in my bonds.” The meaning “imprisonment” derives from a figurative extension of the literal meaning (“bonds,” “fetters,” “chains”), L&N 37.115. |
| (0.30) | (2Co 1:23) | 1 tn Grk “I call upon God as witness against my soul.” Normally this implies an appeal for help (L&N 33.176). |
| (0.30) | (Act 7:60) | 2 sn The remarks Lord Jesus, receive my spirit and Lord, do not hold this sin against them recall statements Jesus made on the cross (Luke 23:34, 46). |
| (0.30) | (Act 2:34) | 1 sn Sit at my right hand. The word “sit” alludes back to the promise of “seating one on his throne” in v. 30. |
| (0.30) | (Act 2:27) | 1 tn Or “will not abandon my soul to Hades.” Often “Hades” is the equivalent of the Hebrew term Sheol, the place of the dead. |

| (0.30) | (Zec 6:8) | 1 tn Heb “my spirit.” The subject appears to be the Lord who exclaims here that the horsemen have accomplished their task of bringing peace. |
