Footnotes

  1. 45 Heb “place, Lord, terror with regard to them.” The Hebrew term מוֹרָה (morah, “terror”) is an alternative form of מוֹרָא (mora’; a reading that appears in some and finds support in several ancient textual witnesses).
  2. 46 Heb “let the nations know they [are] man[kind]”; i.e., mere human beings (as opposed to God).
