Footnotes
- Psalm 115:12 tn Or “remembers us.”
- Psalm 115:12 tn Another option is to translate the prefixed form of the verb “bless” in vv. 12-13 as a jussive, “may he bless” (see v. 14).
- Psalm 115:12 tn Heb “house.”
- Psalm 115:13 tn Heb “the fearers of the Lord.”
- Psalm 115:13 tn Heb “the small along with the great.” The translation assumes that “small” and “great” here refer to age (see 2 Chr 15:13). Another option is to translate “both the insignificant and the prominent” (see Job 3:19; cf. NEB “high and low alike”).
