Footnotes

  1. 26 The words “when they prayed,” though not represented in the Hebrew text, are supplied in the translation for clarification. The petition in vv. 13–14 is best understood as the cry for help which the oppressed offered to God when the nations threatened. The Lord answered this request, prompting the present song of thanksgiving.
  2. 27 Or “show me favor.”
  3. 28 Heb “see my misery from the ones who hate me.”
  4. 29 Heb “one who lifts me up.”
