Footnotes

  1. 37 This verse seems to continue the protasis begun in the last verse, with the apodosis coming in the next verse.
  2. 38 Heb “he”; the referent (God) has been specified in the translation for clarity.
  3. 39 The verb is either taken as an anomalous form of פָּדַע (pada’, “to rescue; to redeem,” or “to exempt him”), or it is emended to some similar word, like פָּרַע (para’, “to let loose,” so Wright).
  4. 40 This verse and v. 28 should be compared with Ps 49:7–9, 15 (8–10, 16 ) where the same basic vocabulary and concepts are employed.
