Footnotes

  1. 20 Or “innocent.” The singular is used here in a representative sense; the typical evildoer and the typical godly individual are in view.
  2. 21 Heb “and gnashes at him with his teeth” (see Ps 35:16). The language may picture the evil men as wild animals. The active participles in v. 12 are used for purposes of dramatic description.
