Footnotes
- Psalm 104:13 tn Heb “from his upper rooms.”
- Psalm 104:13 tn Heb “from the fruit of your works the earth is full.” The translation assumes that “fruit” is literal here. If “fruit” is understood more abstractly as “product; result,” then one could translate, “the earth flourishes as a result of your deeds” (cf. NIV, NRSV, REB).
- Psalm 104:14 tn Heb “causes the grass to sprout up.”
- Psalm 104:14 tn Heb “for the service of man” (see Gen 2:5).
- Psalm 104:14 tn Heb “to cause food to come out from the earth.”
- Psalm 104:15 tn Heb “and wine [that] makes the heart of man happy.”
- Psalm 104:15 tn Heb “to make [the] face shine from oil.” The Hebrew verb צָהַל (tsahal, “to shine”) occurs only here in the OT. It appears to be an alternate form of צָהַר (tsahar), a derivative from צָהָרִים (tsaharim, “noon”).
- Psalm 104:15 tn Heb “and food [that] sustains the heart of man.”
