Footnotes
- 16 The words “along with” do not appear in the . However, the has “with,” suggesting that the original text may have read עִם עַם (’im ’am, “along with the people”). In this case the is haplographic (the consonantal sequence ayin-mem [עם] being written once instead of twice). Another option is that the is simply and correctly interpreting “people” as an adverbial accusative and supplying the appropriate preposition.
- 17 Heb “for to God [belong] the shields of the earth.” Perhaps the rulers are called “shields” because they are responsible for protecting their people. See Ps 84:9, where the Davidic king is called “our shield,” and perhaps also Hos 4:18.
- 18 The verb עָלָה (’alah, “ascend”) appears once more (see v. 5), though now in the Niphal stem.
