[115:17]  1 tn Heb “silence,” a metonymy here for death (see Ps 94:17).

[143:7]  2 tn Heb “my spirit is failing.”

[143:7]  4 tn Heb “I will be equal with.”

[143:7]  5 tn Heb “the pit.” The Hebrew noun בּוֹר (bor, “pit; cistern”) is sometimes used of the grave and/or the realm of the dead. See Ps 28:1.
