sick <04974> [no.]

38:8

groan loudly <07580> [roared.]

38:9

Lord <0136> [Lord.]

Instead of {adonay,} "Lord," several MSS. read {yehowah,} "Jehovah."

groaning <0585> [groaning.]

38:10

heart <03820> [heart.]

see <0216> [the light.]

hardly <0369> [gone from. Heb. not with.]

38:11

distance .... stand <05975> [stand.]

condition <05061> [sore. Heb. stroke. kinsmen. or, neighbours. afar off.]

38:12

entrap <05367> [lay snares.]

speak <01696> [speak.]

38:13

38:14

hear <08085> [that heareth.]

38:15

<03068> [in thee, etc. or, thee do I wait for. do.]

respond <06030> [hear. or, answer.]

Lord <03068 0136> [Lord.]

Here also, instead of {adonay,} one hundred and two MSS. read {yehowah,} "Jehovah."

38:16

concerned <01672> [sorry.]

38:19

enemies <0341> [But.]

[are lively, etc. Heb. being living are strong.]

Instead of {chaymin,} "lively" Bp. Lowth would read {chinmon,} "without cause:"--"but mine enemies without cause have strengthened themselves." As this emendation renders this member of the sentence parallel to the other, it is by no means improbable: see Ps 35:19; 79:5.

hate <08130> [they that.]

38:20

repay <07999> [render.]

Hurry <02363> [Make.]

help .... Lord <05833 0136> [to help me. Heb. for my help. O Lord.]
