[22:11]  ¹ tn Heb “and there is no helper.”

[91:12]  ² tn Heb “so your foot will not strike a stone.”

[119:11]  ³ tn Or “hide.”

[119:11]  ⁴ tn Heb “your word.” Some medieval Hebrew mss as well as the LXX read the plural, “your words.”

[119:43]  ⁵ tn Heb “do not snatch from my mouth a word of truth to excess.” The psalmist wants to be able to give a reliable testimony about the Lord’s loyal love (vv. 41-42), but if God does not intervene, the psalmist will be deprived of doing so, for the evidence of such love (i.e., deliverance) will be lacking.

[119:133]  ⁶ tn God’s “word” refers here to his law (see v. 11).
