[35:12]  ¹ tn Heb “they repay me evil instead of good.”

[35:12]  ² tn Heb “[there is] bereavement to my soul.”

[66:17]  ³ tn Heb “to him [with] my mouth I called.”

[66:17]  ⁴ tn Heb “and he was extolled under my tongue.” The form רוֹמַם (romam) appears to be a polal (passive) participle from רוּם (rum, “be exalted”), but many prefer to read רוֹמָם, “high praise [was under my tongue]” (cf. NEB). See BDB 928 s.v. רוֹמָם.

[106:42]  ⁵ tn Heb “they were subdued under their hand.”

[109:4]  ⁷ tn Heb “in place of my love they oppose me.”
