Footnotes

  1. Psalm 33:13 tn The Hebrew perfect verbal forms in v. 13 state general facts.
  2. Psalm 33:13 tn Heb “all the sons of men.”
  3. Psalm 33:15 tn Heb “the one who forms together their heart[s].” “Heart” here refers to human nature, composed of intellect, emotions and will. The precise force of יָחַד (yakhad, “together”) is unclear here. The point seems to be that the Lord is the creator of every human being.
