1 Heb “Shout to God with [the] sound of a ringing cry!”
2 Heb “the Lord Most High.” The divine title “Most High” (עֶלְיוֹן, ’elyon) pictures the Lord as the exalted ruler of the universe who vindicates the innocent and judges the wicked.
3 Or “awesome.” The Niphal participle נוֹרָא (nora’), when used of God in the psalms, focuses on the effect that his royal splendor and powerful deeds have on those witnessing his acts (Pss 66:3, 5; 68:35; 76:7, 12; 89:7; 96:4; 99:3; 111:9). Here it refers to his capacity to fill his defeated foes with terror and his people with fearful respect.
4 Heb “a great king over all the earth.”
5 On the meaning of the verb דָּבַר (davar, “subdue”), a homonym of דָּבַר (“speak”), see I דבר. See also Ps 18:47 and 2 Chr 22:10. The preterite form of the verb suggests this is an historical reference and the next verse, which mentions the gift of the land, indicates that the conquest under Joshua is in view.
6 Or “peoples” (see Pss 2:1; 7:7; 9:8; 44:2).
