Footnotes
- 10 Heb “slow to anger” (see Ps 86:15).
- 11 Heb “and great of loyal love” (see Ps 86:15).
- 12 The Hebrew verb נָטַר (natar) is usually taken to mean “to keep; to guard,” with “anger” being understood by ellipsis. The idiom “to guard anger” is then understood to mean “to remain angry” (see Lev 19:18; Jer 3:5, 12; Nah 1:2). However, it is possible that this is a homonymic root meaning “to be angry” (see נטר).
- 13 Heb “not according to our sins does he do to us.”
- 14 Heb “and not according to our misdeeds does he repay us.”
