Psalm 46/Notes/Textual.v. 9.863940

It is of note that some MSS (32 Kenn., 46 De-Rossi), the LXX, and Pesh. read "God" in v. 9 instead of יהוה (Targ. follows MT). For this, see Ps 66:5, which echoes v. 9, but the noun מפעלות/"works" is in construct with "God", i.e., לכו וראו מפעלות אלהים. The more general אלהים in v. 9 fits better with Book II, which is a part of the Elohistic Psalter. Hence, יהוה should be preferred as the original reading.
