9 O Lord, our Lord, ^{▼▼tn The plural form of the title emphasizes the Lord’s absolute sovereignty.}
how magnificent ^{▼▼tn Or “awesome, majestic.”} is your reputation ^{▼▼tn Heb “name,” which here stands metonymically for God’s reputation.} throughout the earth! ^{▼▼sn Using the poetic device of inclusio, the psalmist ends the psalm the way he began it. The concluding refrain is identical to v. 1.}
