1 tn Heb “and I in my integrity walk.” The psalmist uses the imperfect verbal form to emphasize this is his practice. The construction at the beginning of the verse (conjunction + pronoun) highlights the contrast between the psalmist and the sinners mentioned in vv. 9-10.
2 tn Or “redeem me.”
3 tn Heb “in place of my love they oppose me.”
4 tn Heb “and I, prayer.”
5 tn Heb “for me.”
6 tn Heb “among my helpers.” The preposition may indicate identity here, while the plural may be one of majesty or respect.
