Footnotes

  1. Psalm 107:31 tn Heb “and [for] his amazing deeds for the sons of man.” See v. 8.
  2. Psalm 107:32 tn Heb “in the seat of the elders.”
  3. Psalm 107:33 tn The verbal form appears to be a preterite, which is most naturally taken as narrational. (The use of prefixed forms with vav [ו] consecutive in vv. 36-37 favor this.) The psalmist may return to the theme of God’s intervention for the exiles (see vv. 4-22, especially vv. 4-9). However, many regard vv. 33-41 as a hymnic description which generalizes about God’s activities among men. In this case it would be preferable to use the English present tense throughout (cf. NEB, NRSV).
