NET Notes

1 tn Or “for.”

2 tn Heb “they extend against you harm.” The perfect verbal forms in v. 11 are taken as generalizing, stating factually what the king’s enemies typically do. Another option is to translate with the past tense (“they intended…planned”).

3 sn See Ps 10:2.

4 tn Heb “they lack ability.”
