Psalms 109:23

1 sn Psalms 80. The psalmist laments Israel’s demise and asks the Lord to show favor toward his people, as he did in earlier times.

2 tn The Hebrew expression shushan-eduth means “lily of the testimony.” It may refer to a particular music style or to a tune title. See the superscription to Psalms 60.

3 sn Winged angels (Heb “cherubs”). Cherubs, as depicted in the OT, possess both human and animal (lion, ox, and eagle) characteristics (see Ezekiel 1:10; 10:14, 21; 41:18). They are pictured as winged creatures (Exodus 25:20; 37:9; 1 Kings 6:24-27; Ezekiel 10:8, 19) and serve as the very throne of God when the ark of the covenant is in view (Psalms 99:1; see Numbers 7:89; 1 Samuel 4:4; 2 Samuel 6:2; 2 Kings 19:15). The picture of the Lord seated on the cherubs suggests they might be used by him as a vehicle, a function they carry out in Ezekiel 1:22-28 (the “living creatures” mentioned here are identified as cherubs in Ezekiel 10:20). In Psalms 18:10 the image of a cherub serves to personify the wind.

4 tn Heb “shine forth.”

sn Reveal your splendor. The psalmist may allude to Deuteronomy 33:2, where God “shines forth” from Sinai and comes to superintend Moses’ blessing of the tribes.

Psalms 109:24

5 tn Heb “stir up”; “arouse.”

6 tn Heb “come for our deliverance.”

Psalms 109:25

7 tn The idiom “cause your face to shine” probably refers to a smile (see Ecclesiastes 8:1), which in turn suggests favor and blessing (see Numbers 6:25; Psalms 4:6; 31:16; 44:3; 67:1; 89:15; Daniel 9:17).

8 tn Heb “cause your face to shine in order that we may be delivered.” After the imperative, the cohortative with prefixed vav (ו) indicates purpose/result.

Psalms 109:26
