49 Heb “my insides trembled.”
50 Heb “decay entered my bones.”
51 Heb “beneath me I shook, which.…” The Hebrew term אֲשֶׁר (’asher) appears to be a relative pronoun, but a relative pronoun does not fit here. The translation assumes a reading אֲשֻׁרָי (’ashuray, “my steps”) as well as an emendation of the preceding verb to a third plural form.
52 The translation assumes that אָנוּחַ (’anuakh) is from the otherwise unattested verb נָוָח (navakh, “sigh”; see II נוח; so also ). Most take this verb as נוּחַ (nuakh, “to rest”) and translate, “I wait patiently” (cf. ).
53 Heb “to come up toward.”

I hear, and my body trembles;

my lips quiver at the sound;

rottenness enters into my bones;

my legs tremble beneath me.

Yet I will quietly wait for the day of trouble

to come upon people who invade us.

I heard and my heart pounded,

my lips quivered at the sound;

decay crept into my bones,

and my legs trembled.

Yet I will wait patiently for the day of calamity

to come on the nation invading us.

I heard, and I trembled within;

my lips quivered at the sound.

to come against the people invading us.

I trembled inside when I heard this;

my lips quivered with fear.

My legs gave way beneath me,

and I shook in terror.

when disaster will strike the people who invade us.

I hear and my stomach shakes;

my lips quiver at the sound;

infection enters my bones;

to come upon the people attacking us.

When I heard, my belly trembled;

My lips quivered at the voice:

Rottenness entered into my bones, and I trembled in myself,

That I might rest in the day of trouble:

When he cometh up unto the people, he will invade them with his troops.
