Footnotes

  1. Psalm 104:25 tn Heb “this [is] the sea, great and broad of hands [i.e., “sides” or “shores”].”
  2. Psalm 104:25 tn Heb “where [there are] swimming things, and without number.”
  3. Psalm 104:26 tn Heb “[and] this Leviathan, [which] you formed to play in it.” Elsewhere Leviathan is a multiheaded sea monster that symbolizes forces hostile to God (see Ps 74:14; Isa 27:1), but here it appears to be an actual marine creature created by God, probably some type of whale.

26 There the ships(C) go to and fro,
    and Leviathan,(D) which you formed to frolic(E) there.(F)
