Footnotes

  1. 51 Heb “but as for me, the nearness of God for me [is] good.”
  2. 52 The infinitive construct with -לְ (lé) is understood here as indicating an attendant circumstance. Another option is to take it as indicating purpose (“so that I might declare”) or result (“with the result that I declare”).
