[22:20]  1 tn Or “my life.”

[22:20]  2 tn The verb “save” is supplied in the translation; it is understood by ellipsis (see “deliver” in the preceding line).

[22:20]  3 tn Heb “my only one.” The psalmist may mean that his life is precious, or that he feels isolated and alone.

[22:20]  4 tn Heb “from the hand.” Here “hand” is understood by metonymy as a reference to the “paw” and thus the “claws” of the wild dogs.

[120:2]  5 tn The words “I said” are supplied in the translation for clarification. See the introductory note for this psalm.

[120:2]  6 tn Or “my life.”

[120:2]  7 tn Heb “from a lip of falsehood.”

[120:2]  8 tn Heb “from a tongue of deception.”
