Footnotes

  1. 38 The particle כִּי is best understood as asseverative or emphatic here.
  2. 39 Heb “those blessed by him.” The pronoun “him” must refer to the Lord (see vv. 20, 23), so the referent has been specified in the translation for clarity.
  3. 40 Heb “cursed.”
  4. 41 Or “cut off”; or “removed” (see v. 9).
