Footnotes
- 12 The construction vav (ו) + subject highlights the contrast between the exalted Lord and his defeated foes (see v. 6).
- 13 Heb “sits” (i.e., enthroned, see v. 4). The imperfect verbal form highlights the generalization.
- 14 Heb “he establishes for justice his throne.”
- 15 Heb “the peoples.” The imperfect verbal forms in v. 8 either describe God’s typical, characteristic behavior, or anticipate a future judgment of worldwide proportions (“will judge …”).
