Footnotes

  1. 4 Heb “for you accomplished my justice and my legal claim.”
  2. 5 Heb “you sat on a throne [as] one who judges [with] righteousness.” The perfect verbal forms in v. 4 probably allude to a recent victory (see vv. 5–7). Another option is to understand the verbs as describing what is typical (“you defend … you sit on a throne”).
