Footnotes

  1. 30 Heb “do not hide your face from.” The Hebrew idiom “hide the face” can (1) mean “ignore” (see Pss 10:11; 13:1; 51:9) or (2) carry the stronger idea of “reject” (see Pss 30:7; 88:14).
  2. 31 Or “quickly.”
  3. 32 Heb “come near my life and redeem it.” The verb “redeem” casts the Lord in the role of a leader who protects members of his extended family in times of need and crisis (see Ps 19:14).
  4. 33 Heb “before you [are] all my enemies.”

Mine adversaries are all before thee.
