Footnotes

  1. 8 The Hebrew text has a masculine plural imperative, addressed to the people. Some harmonize the wording here to Ps 105:8, which has זָכַר (zakhar), the perfect third masculine singular form of the verb, “He (the Lord) remembers” (so ; reads “He called to mind his covenant”).
  2. 9 Heb “[the] word he commanded.” The text refers here to God’s unconditional covenantal promise to Abraham and the patriarchs, as vv. 16–18 make clear.
