TSNTyndale Study Notes:

9:4 The throne represents the Lord’s royal authority.

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:

עָ֭שִׂיתָ

(Some words not found in UHB: in/on/at/with,to_turn enemies,my back stumble and,perish because_of,presence,you )

Alternate translation: “you have ruled on” or “you have declared” or “you have accomplished”

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / abstractnouns

כִּֽי־עָ֭שִׂיתָ מִשְׁפָּטִ֣⁠י וְ⁠דִינִ֑⁠י & שׁוֹפֵ֥ט צֶֽדֶק

(Some words not found in UHB: in/on/at/with,to_turn enemies,my back stumble and,perish because_of,presence,you )

If your language does not use abstract nouns for the ideas of justice, claim and righteousness, you could express the same ideas in other ways. Alternate translation: “For you have answered me justly when I petitioned in your court … a righteous judge”

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / hendiadys

עָ֭שִׂיתָ מִשְׁפָּטִ֣⁠י וְ⁠דִינִ֑⁠י

(Some words not found in UHB: in/on/at/with,to_turn enemies,my back stumble and,perish because_of,presence,you )

The two words justice and claim may express a single idea. The word justice tells how Yahweh views the author’s legal claim. If it would be more natural in your language, you could express this meaning in a different way. Alternate translation: “you have ruled that my claim is just” or “you have answered my just claim”

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / metonymy

יָשַׁ֥בְתָּ לְ֝⁠כִסֵּ֗א

(Some words not found in UHB: in/on/at/with,to_turn enemies,my back stumble and,perish because_of,presence,you )

Here, throne represents kingship. Kings had authority to judge people, and they would sit on their throne when they judged. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use an equivalent expression from your language or state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “you are like a king who judged his people from his throne” or “you are a king”

יָשַׁ֥בְתָּ לְ֝⁠כִסֵּ֗א שׁוֹפֵ֥ט צֶֽדֶק

(Some words not found in UHB: in/on/at/with,to_turn enemies,my back stumble and,perish because_of,presence,you )

Alternate translation: “you are like a royal judge who always issues correct judgements from his throne” or “you sit on your judgment throne and judge righteously”
