[5:6]  1 tn Heb “the hand of the Lord was heavy upon.”

[5:6]  2 tn The words “the people of” are supplied in the translation for clarification.

[5:6]  3 tc The LXX and Vulgate add the following: “And mice multiplied in their land, and the terror of death was throughout the entire city.”

[5:11]  4 tn Heb “and they sent and gathered.”

[5:11]  5 tn Heb “me.”

[5:11]  6 tn Heb “my.”

[5:11]  7 tn Or “panic.”

[5:11]  8 tn Heb “the hand of God was very heavy there.”

[32:4]  9 tn Heb “your hand was heavy upon me.”

[32:4]  10 tc Heb “my [?] was turned.” The meaning of the Hebrew term לְשַׁד (lÿshad) is uncertain. A noun לָשָׁד (lashad, “cake”) is attested in Num 11:8, but it would make no sense to understand that word in this context. It is better to emend the form to לְשֻׁדִּי (lÿshuddiy, “to my destruction”) and understand “your hand” as the subject of the verb “was turned.” In this case the text reads, “[your hand] was turned to my destruction.” In Lam 3:3 the author laments that God’s “hand” was “turned” (הָפַךְ, hafakh) against him in a hostile sense.

[32:4]  11 tn The translation assumes that the plural form indicates degree. If one understands the form as a true plural, then one might translate, “in the times of drought.”

[32:4]  12 sn Summer. Perhaps the psalmist suffered during the hot season and perceived the very weather as being an instrument of divine judgment. Another option is that he compares his time of suffering to the uncomfortable and oppressive heat of summer.

[39:10]  13 tn Heb “remove from upon me your wound.”

[39:10]  14 tn Heb “from the hostility of your hand I have come to an end.”
