NET Notes: Psa 35:17

¹ tn Heb “O Lord, how long will you see?”

² tn Heb “bring back, restore.”

³ tn Or “my life.”

⁴ tn Heb “my only one.” The psalmist may mean that his life is precious, or that he feels isolated and alone (see Ps 22:20). The verb “guard” is supplied in the translation, because the verb “rescue” is understood by ellipsis (see the previous line).
