[139:6]  ¹ tn Heb “too amazing [is this] knowledge for me, it is elevated, I cannot attain to it.”

[41:9]  ² tn Heb “man of my peace.” The phrase here refers to one’s trusted friend (see Jer 38:22; Obad 7).

[41:9]  ³ tn Heb “has made a heel great against me.” The precise meaning of this phrase, which appears only here, is uncertain.

[101:5]  ³ tn Heb “[one who has] pride of eyes and wideness [i.e., arrogance] of heart, him I will not endure.”
