Footnotes

  1. 23 Heb “to him [with] my mouth I called.”
  2. 24 Heb “and he was extolled under my tongue.” The form רוֹמַם (romam) appears to be a polal (passive) participle from רוּם (rum, “be exalted”), but many prefer to read רוֹמָם, “high praise [was under my tongue]” (cf. ). See 928 רוֹמָם.
  3. 25 Heb “sin if I had seen in my heart.”
