Footnotes

  1. Psalm 107:21 tn Heb “and [for] his amazing deeds for the sons of man.” See v. 8.
  2. Psalm 107:22 tn Heb “and let them proclaim his works with a ringing cry.”
  3. Psalm 107:23 sn Verses 23-30, which depict the Lord rescuing sailors from a storm at sea, do not seem to describe the exiles’ situation, unless the word picture is metaphorical. Perhaps the psalmist here broadens his scope and offers an example of God’s kindness to the needy beyond the covenant community.
  4. Psalm 107:23 tn Heb “those going down [into].”
  5. Psalm 107:23 tn Heb “doers of work on the mighty waters.”
