Footnotes

  1. 1 Heb “from the end of the earth.” This may indicate (1) the psalmist is exiled in a distant land, or (2) it may be hyperbolic (the psalmist feels alienated from God’s presence, as if he were in a distant land).
  2. 2 Heb “while my heart faints.”
  3. 3 The imperfect verbal form here expresses the psalmist’s wish or prayer.
  4. 4 Heb “on to a rocky summit [that] is higher than I.”
