66:17 I cried out to him for help 1
and praised him with my tongue. 2
1 tn Heb “to him [with] my mouth I called.”
2 tn Heb “and he was extolled under my tongue.” The form רוֹמַם (romam) appears to be a polal (passive) participle from רוּם (rum, “be exalted”), but many prefer to read רוֹמָם, “high praise [was under my tongue]” (cf. NEB). See BDB 928 s.v. רוֹמָם.
