NET Notes

1 tn This verse seems to continue the protasis begun in the last verse, with the apodosis coming in the next verse.

2 tn Heb “he”; the referent (God) has been specified in the translation for clarity.

3 tc The verb is either taken as an anomalous form of פָּדַע (pada’, “to rescue; to redeem,” or “to exempt him”), or it is emended to some similar word, like פָּרַע (para’, “to let loose,” so Wright).

4 sn This verse and v. 28 should be compared with Ps 49:7-9, 15 (8-10, 16 HT) where the same basic vocabulary and concepts are employed.
