¹ tn Heb “and they were helped against them and they were given over into their hand, the Hagrites and all who were with them, for to God they cried out in the battle and he was entreated [or “allowed himself to be entreated”] by them for they trusted in him.”

² tn Heb “and [one] for a leader [was] from him.” This probably refers to the Davidic king.

³ tn In this context “desire” refers to the followers’ desire to be delivered from wicked enemies.

⁴ tn Heb “the desire of those who fear him, he does.”

The wicked are afraid of the consequences of their sinful actions; however, they cannot escape these consequences.

⁶ tn Heb “the desire of the righteous.” The noun צַדִּיק (tsadiq, “righteous”) is a subjective genitive.

⁷ tn Heb “it will give.” When used without an expressed subject, the verb יִתֵּן (yitten) has a passive nuance: “it will be granted.”
