NET Notes

¹tn Or “take possession of.”

²tn Heb “and their arm did not save them.” The “arm” here symbolizes military strength.

³tn Heb “your right hand.” The Lord’s “right hand” here symbolizes his power to protect and deliver (see Pss 17:7; 20:6; 21:8).

⁴tn Heb “your arm.”

⁵tn Heb “light of your face.” The idiom “light of your face” probably refers to a smile (see Eccl 8:1), which in turn suggests favor and blessing (see Num 6:25; Pss 4:6; 31:16; 67:1; 80:3, 7, 19; 89:15; Dan 9:17).

⁶tn Or “favorable toward.”
