Footnotes

  1. 33 Heb “O Lord, how long will you see?”
  2. 34 Heb “bring back, restore.”
  3. 35 Or “my life.”
  4. 36 Heb “my only one.” The psalmist may mean that his life is precious, or that he feels isolated and alone (see Ps 22:20). The verb “guard” is supplied in the translation, because the verb “rescue” is understood by ellipsis (see the previous line).
