Footnotes
- 10 In this context “fear” probably means “to demonstrate respect for the Lord’s power and authority by worshiping him and obeying his commandments.” See Ps 33:8. Some interpreters, with the support of the , prefer to read וְיַאֲרִיךְ (vé’a’arikh, “and he [the king in this case] will prolong [days]”), that is, “will live a long time” (cf. , ).
- 11 God is the addressee (see vv. 1–2).
- 12 Heb “with [the] sun, and before [the] moon [for] a generation, generations.” The rare expression דּוֹר דּוֹרִים (dor dorim, “generation, generations”) occurs only here, in Ps 102:24, and in Isa 51:8.
