Footnotes
- 38 He. This must refer to the psalmist’s former friend, who was addressed previously in vv. 12–14.
- 39 Heb “stretches out his hand against.”
- 40 The form should probably be emended to an active participle (שֹׁלְמָיו, sholémayv) from the verbal root שָׁלַם (shalam, “be in a covenant of peace with”). Perhaps the translation “his friends” suggests too intimate a relationship. Another option is to translate, “he attacks those who made agreements with him.”
- 41 Heb “he violates his covenant.”
