Footnotes
- 24 Or “moan” (, , , ); , “mourn.”
- 25 Heb “my eyes become weak, toward the height.”
- 26 The Hebrew term translated “sovereign master” here and in v. 16 is אֲדֹנָי (’adonay).
- 27 Heb “stand surety for me.” Hezekiah seems to be picturing himself as a debtor who is being exploited; he asks that the Lord might relieve his debt and deliver him from the oppressive creditor.

Like a horse or a crane, so I chirp;

I did mourn as a dove:
Mine eyes fail with looking upward:
O Lord, I am oppressed; undertake for me.
