NET Notes

¹tn Heb “like crawling things on the ground.” The parallelism suggests snakes are in view.

²tn Thetranslationassumesthatthe phrase אֶל־יְהוָה אֱלֹהֵינוּ (’el-yÿhvah ’elohenu, “to the Lord our God”) goes with what precedes. Another option is to take the phrase with the following verb, in which case one could translate, “to the Lord our God they will turn in dread.”

³tn Heb “they will be in dread and afraid.”

⁴tn The Lord is addressed directly using the second person.
