Footnotes
- 67 Heb “do not snatch from my mouth a word of truth to excess.” The psalmist wants to be able to give a reliable testimony about the Lord’s loyal love (vv. 41–42), but if God does not intervene, the psalmist will be deprived of doing so, for the evidence of such love (i.e., deliverance) will be lacking.
- 68 The cohortative verbal form with vav (ו) conjunctive indicates purpose/result after the negated jussive (see v. 43).
- 69 Or “forever and ever.”
