Footnotes

  1. 32 Heb “weighted down.” This probably refers (1) to the cattle having the produce from the harvest placed on their backs to be transported to the storehouses (see 687 סָבַל). Other options are (2) to take this as reference to the cattle being pregnant (see סבל pu) or (3) to their being well-fed or fattened (see L. C. Allen, Psalms 101–150 [], ).
  2. 33 Heb “there [will be] no breach, and there [will be] no going out, and there [will be] no crying out in our broad places.”
