[3:53]  1 tn Heb “my life.”

[3:58]  2 tc The MT reads אֲדֹנָי (’adonay, “the Lord”) here rather than יהוה (YHWH, “the Lord”) as in the following verse. See the tc note at 1:14.

[3:58]  3 tn This verb, like others in this stanza, could be understood as a precative (“Plead”).

[3:58]  4 tn Heb “the causes of my soul.” The term נַפְשִׁי (nafshi, “my soul”) is a synecdoche of part (= my soul) for the whole person (= me).
