1 tn Heb “he chose for us our inheritance.” The prefixed verbal form is understood as a preterite (see “subdued” in v. 3). 2 tn Heb “the pride of.” The phrase is appositional to “our inheritance,” indicating that the land is here described as a source of pride to God’s people. 3 tn That is, Israel. 4 sn Jacob whom he loves. The Lord’s covenantal devotion to his people is in view. |
