¹ tn Heb “you will destroy their name from under heaven” (cf. KJV); NRSV “blot out their name from under heaven.”

² tn Or “to save you” (so KJV, NASB, NCV); or “to deliver you.”

³ tn Heb “the Lord of hosts is with us.” The title “Lord of hosts” here pictures the Lord as a mighty warrior-king who leads armies into battle (see Ps 24:10). The military imagery is further developed in vv. 8-9.

⁴ tn That is, Israel, or Judah (see Ps 20:1).

⁵ tn Heb “our elevated place” (see Pss 9:9; 18:2).

⁶ tn BDAG 1034 s.v. ὑπερνικάω states, “as a heightened form of νικᾶν prevail completely ὑπερνικῶμεν we are winning a most glorious victory Ro 8:37.”

⁷ tn Here the referent could be either God or Christ, but in v. 39 it is God’s love that is mentioned.
