The SUN theological checker says that the word "them" should be "it".

\v 11 The Lord gave the word,
\q2 and those who announced them were a great army.

We will need to find out what the object of "announce" is. Versions vary.

NIV: The Lord announces the word, and the women who proclaim it are a mighty throng:

ESV: The Lord gives the word; the women who announce the news are a great host:

NASB: The Lord gives the command; The women who proclaim the good tidings are a great host:

The audio team recorded Psalms. They did not list this as an issue in their spreadsheet.

I think saying "it," referring back to "the word" makes sense. The reason some versions say "the women" is because the verb is feminine.

I'm fine with making things simple and just change "them" to "it," but if we want to be less vague we could say: and the women who annouced the news were a great army.
