NET Notes

¹tn Heb “Who is a God like you?” The rhetorical question expects the answer, “No one!”

²tn Heb “one who.” The prayer moves from direct address (second person) in v. 18a to a descriptive (third person) style in vv. 18b-19a and then back to direct address (second person) in vv. 19b-20. Due to considerations of English style and the unfamiliarity of the modern reader with alternation of persons in Hebrew poetry, the entire section has been rendered as direct address (second person) in the translation.

³tn Heb “pass over.”

⁴tn Heb “of the remnant of his inheritance.”

⁵tn Heb “he does not keep hold of his anger forever.”
