TTN Tyndale Theme Notes:

Praise Psalms

The Hebrew title of the book of Psalms means “Praises,” and that title accurately defines a large number of the psalms. God is praised throughout the psalms for his nature and for his great acts in creation and history. Praise psalms were written for individual use and for the community.

Individual praise (Pss 9; 18; 32; 34; 116; 138). It was customary in Temple worship for people to give verbal thanks in front of the whole assembly whenever they made a vow offering or a thank offering (see, e.g., 22:22-26; 66:13-20; 116:17-19). Such opportunities for personal praise and testimony must have added warmth and significance to worship. Each act of rescue and every experience of God’s mercy became part of the cumulative, ongoing story of salvation. Worship was not simply a recital of God’s deeds in earlier centuries.

Communal praise (Pss 103, 113, 124, 129, 136). When the community gathered, they praised the Lord in song for his acts in history (Ps 103) or for a specific recent manifestation of his mercy (Pss 124, 129). In Psalm 103, the psalmist praises God for his mercy to each individual (103:1-5) and to the whole community (103:6-14). The frailty of humanity contrasts with God’s constancy (103:15-18); his universal and absolute rule merits universal praise (103:19-22).

UTN uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

שְׁמָ֥⁠ם מָ֝חִ֗יתָ לְ⁠עוֹלָ֥ם וָ⁠עֶֽד

(Some words not found in UHB: that/for/because/then/when you(ms)_have_done/made just,my and,cause,my sat on,throne judging righteous )

This could mean 1) Yahweh caused these people to be forgotten. Alternate translation: “you have caused them to be forgotten as if their name was blotted out” or “no one will ever remember them again”, 2) Yahweh will not give these people eternal life (other parts of the Bible speak of this as blotting them out from the Book of Life). Alternate translation: “you send them to eternal punishment”. Interpretation one is favored because of the end of verse 6 which is parallel with this verse.

מָ֝חִ֗יתָ

(Some words not found in UHB: that/for/because/then/when you(ms)_have_done/made just,my and,cause,my sat on,throne judging righteous )

Alternate translation: “you erased”

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / doublet

לְ⁠עוֹלָ֥ם וָ⁠עֶֽד

(Some words not found in UHB: that/for/because/then/when you(ms)_have_done/made just,my and,cause,my sat on,throne judging righteous )

The terms forever and ever mean similar things. The author is using the two terms together for emphasis. If it would be clearer for your readers, you could express the emphasis with a single phrase. Alternate translation: “eternally”
