TSNTyndale Study Notes:

9:12 The Lord avenges and saves his servants (18:46) by righteously judging his enemies on earth (58:11). The godly do not seek revenge; they wait for the Lord to vindicate them (94:1-2; Deut 32:35; Rom 12:19).

TTNTyndale 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).

Passages for Further Study

Pss 9; 18; 32; 34; 46–48; 93; 96–99; 103; 113; 116; 124; 129; 136; 138


UTNuW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: translate-unknown

דֹרֵ֣שׁ דָּ֭מִים

(Some words not found in UHB: sing_praises to/for=YHWH was_sitting Tsiyyōn/(Zion) proclaim in/on/at/with,peoples deeds,his )

Here, the seeker refers to the avenger of blood, who hunts down and kills a murderer. Yahweh is the avenger in this case. See Numbers 35 for more information.

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

אוֹתָ֣⁠ם זָכָ֑ר

(Some words not found in UHB: sing_praises to/for=YHWH was_sitting Tsiyyōn/(Zion) proclaim in/on/at/with,peoples deeds,his )

The implication is that the seeker of vengeance will remember to avenge for the murder of them (the victims calling for justice). You could include this information if that would be helpful to your readers. Alternate translation: “remembered to avenge those who were murdered”

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / abstractnouns

דֹרֵ֣שׁ דָּ֭מִים אוֹתָ֣⁠ם

(Some words not found in UHB: sing_praises to/for=YHWH was_sitting Tsiyyōn/(Zion) proclaim in/on/at/with,peoples deeds,his )

If your language does not use abstract nouns for the ideas of seeker, vengeance and bloodshed, you could express the same ideas in other ways. Alternate translation: “the one who seeks to avenge anyone who was murdered”

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / doublenegatives

לֹֽא־שָׁ֝כַ֗ח

(Some words not found in UHB: sing_praises to/for=YHWH was_sitting Tsiyyōn/(Zion) proclaim in/on/at/with,peoples deeds,his )

If it would be clearer in your language, you could use a positive expression to translate this double negative that consists of the negative particle not and the negative idea of forget. Alternate translation: “he surely remembers”

עניים

(Some words not found in UHB: sing_praises to/for=YHWH was_sitting Tsiyyōn/(Zion) proclaim in/on/at/with,peoples deeds,his )

Alternate translation: “the afflicted ones” or “the oppressed ones”
