Footnotes
- 11 “But” has been added in the translation to strengthen the contrast.
- 12 The Piel of אָמַץ (’amats) means “to strengthen, fortify.”
- 13 Heb “my mouth.”
- 14 The verb יַחְשֹׂךְ (yakhsokh) means “to restrain; to withhold.” There is no object, so many make it first person subject, “I will not restrain.” The and the have a different person—“I would not restrain.” G. R. Driver, arguing that the verb is intransitive here, made it “the solace of my lips would not [added] be withheld” (see 34 [1933]: 380). D. J. A. Clines says that what is definitive is the use of the verb in the next line, where it clearly means “soothed, assuaged.”
