1 tn Heb “my soul clings to the dirt.” The Hebrew term נֶפֶשׁ (nefesh, “being; soul”) with a pronominal suffix is often equivalent to a pronoun, especially in poetry (see BDB 660 s.v. נֶפֶשׁ 4.a).
2 tn Heb “according to your word.” Many medieval Hebrew
3 tn Heb “according to.”
4 tn The cohortative verbal form with vav (ו) conjunctive indicates purpose/result after the preceding imperative.
5 tn Heb “of your mouth.”
6 tn Heb “name,” which here stands metonymically for God’s reputation.
7 tn The imperfect verbal forms in vv. 11-12a are understood as expressing the psalmist’s desire. Note the petitionary tone of vv. 7-10a.
8 tn Heb “by your justice bring out my life from trouble.”
