[6:8]  ¹ tn Heb “all [you] workers of wickedness.” See Ps 5:5.

[6:8]  ² sn The Lord has heard. The psalmist’s mood abruptly changes because the Lord responded positively to the lament and petition of vv. 1-7 and promised him deliverance.

[13:6]  ³ tn The verb form is cohortative, indicating the psalmist’s resolve (or vow) to praise the Lord when deliverance arrives.

[13:6]  ⁴ tn Or “for he will have vindicated me.” The verb form indicates a future perfect here. The idiom גָמַל עַל (gamal ’al) means “to repay,” here in a positive sense.

[141:9]  ⁵ tn Heb “and the traps of the doers of evil.”
