[32:10]  ¹ tn Heb “many [are the] pains of evil [one].” The singular form is representative here; the typical evildoer, representative of the larger group of wicked people, is in view.

[32:10]  ² tn Heb “but the one who trusts in the Lord, faithfulness surrounds him.”

[44:24]  ³ tn Heb “Why do you hide your face?” The idiom “hide the face” can mean “ignore” (see Pss 10:11; 13:1; 51:9) or carry the stronger idea of “reject” (see Pss 30:7; 88:14).

[44:24]  ⁴ tn Or “forget.”

[44:24]  ⁵ tn Heb “our oppression and our affliction.”

[69:11]  ⁶ tn Heb “and I am an object of ridicule to them.”
