Footnotes
- Psalm 113:3 tn Heb “from the rising of the sun to its setting.” The extent is not temporal (“from sunrise to sunset”) but spatial (“from the place where the sun rises [the east] to the place where it sets [the west].” In the phenomenological language of OT cosmology, the sun was described as rising in the east and setting in the west.
- Psalm 113:4 tn Heb “above the sky [is] his splendor.”
- Psalm 113:5 tn Heb “the one who makes high to sit.”
