Footnotes

  1. 138 Heb “[the one who] delivers me.” 2 Sam 22:49 reads “and [the one who] brings me out.”
  2. 139 Heb “lifts me up.” In light of the preceding and following references to deliverance, the verb רום probably here refers to being rescued from danger (see Ps 9:13). However, it could mean “exalt, elevate” here, indicating that the Lord has given the psalmist victory over his enemies and forced them to acknowledge the psalmist’s superiority (cf. , ).
  3. 140 Heb “from those who rise against me.”
