NET Notes

1 tn The pronominal suffix refers to the psalmist’s enemies (see v. 19).

2 tn Heb “well of the pit.” The Hebrew term שַׁחַת (shakhat, “pit”) is often used as a title for Sheol (see Pss 16:10; 30:9; 49:9; 103:4).

3 tn Heb “men of bloodshed and deceit.”

4 tn Heb “will not divide in half their days.”
