Footnotes
- 74 Heb “to the one who rides through the skies of skies of ancient times.” If the is retained, one might translate, “to the one who rides through the ancient skies.” (שְׁמֵי [shémey, “skies of”] may be accidentally repeated.) The present translation assumes an emendation to בַּשָּׁמַיִם מִקֶּדֶם (bashamayim miqqedem, “[to the one who rides] through the sky from ancient times”), that is, God has been revealing his power through the storm since ancient times.
- 75 Heb “he gives his voice a strong voice.” In this context God’s “voice” is the thunder that accompanies the rain (see vv. 8–9, as well as Deut 33:26).
- 76 Heb “give strength to God.”
- 77 The language of v. 34 echoes that of Deut 33:26.
- 78 Heb “awesome [is] God from his holy places.” The plural of מִקְדָּשׁ (miqdash, “holy places”) perhaps refers to the temple precincts (see Ps 73:17; Jer 51:51).
- 79 Heb “the God of Israel, he.”
- 80 Heb “blessed [be] God.”
