Footnotes
- 46 Heb “do what is good for Zion in your favor.”
- 47 Or “Build.” The imperfect verbal form is used here to express the psalmist’s wish or request.
- 48 For location see ; ; ; ; ; ; ; ; .
- 49 Or “desire, take delight in.”
- 50 Heb “then they will offer up bulls.” The third plural subject is indefinite.
- 51 Verses 18–19 appear to reflect the exilic period, when the city’s walls lay in ruins and the sacrificial system had been disrupted.
