Footnotes

1. Psalm 103:9 tn The Hebrew verb נָטַר (natar) is usually taken to mean “to keep; to guard,” with “anger” being understood by ellipsis. The idiom “to guard anger” is then understood to mean “to remain angry” (see Lev 19:18; Jer 3:5, 12; Nah 1:2). However, it is possible that this is a homonymic root meaning “to be angry” (see HALOT 695 s.v. נטר).
2. Psalm 103:10 tn Heb “not according to our sins does he do to us.”
3. Psalm 103:10 tn Heb “and not according to our misdeeds does he repay us.”
4. Psalm 103:11 tn For this sense of the verb גָבַר (gavar), see L. C. Allen, Psalms 101-150 (WBC), 17, 19.
5. Psalm 103:11 tn Heb “those who fear him.”
