Footnotes

  1. 1 Heb “[O] one who lives.”
  2. 2 Traditionally “the Most High.”
  3. 3 The Lord is compared here to a bird who protects its young under the shadow of its wings (see v. 4).
  4. 4 The divine name used here is “Shaddai” (שַׁדַּי, shadday; see also Ps 68:14). Shaddai (or El Shaddai) is the mighty king (sovereign judge) of the world who grants life/blesses and kills/judges. In Genesis he blesses the patriarchs with fertility and promises numerous descendants. Outside Genesis he both blesses/protects and takes away life/happiness.
