[18:29]  1 tn Or “for.” The translation assumes that כִּי (ki) is asseverative here.

[18:29]  2 tn Heb “by you.”

[18:29]  3 tn Heb “I will run.” The imperfect verbal forms in v. 29 indicate the subject’s potential or capacity to perform an action. Though one might expect a preposition to follow the verb here, this need not be the case with the verb רוּץ (ruts; see 1 Sam 17:22). Some emend the Qal to a Hiphil form of the verb and translate, “I put to flight [Heb “cause to run”] an army.”

[18:29]  4 tn More specifically, the noun גְּדוּד (gÿdud) refers to a raiding party or to a contingent of troops.

[18:29]  5 tn Heb “and by my God.”

[18:29]  6 sn I can jump over a wall. The psalmist uses hyperbole to emphasize his God-given military superiority.

[11:34]  7 tn Grk “quenched the power of fire.”

[11:34]  8 tn Or “recovered from sickness.”
