Footnotes

  1. 11 Heb “God causes the solitary ones to dwell in a house.” The participle suggests this is what God typically does.
  2. 12 Heb “he brings out prisoners into prosperity.” Another option is to translate, “he brings out prisoners with singing” (cf. ). The participle suggests this is what God typically does.
  3. 13 Or “in a parched [land].” God delivers the downtrodden and oppressed, but sinful rebels who oppose his reign are treated appropriately.
