Footnotes

  1. 36 Heb “from bloodshed.” “Bloodshed” here stands by metonymy for the guilt which it produces.
  2. 37 Heb “my tongue will shout for joy your deliverance.” Another option is to take the prefixed verbal form as a jussive, “may my tongue shout for joy.” However, the pattern in vv. 12–15 appears to be prayer/request (see vv. 12, 14a, 15a) followed by promise/vow (see vv. 13, 14b, 15b).
