NET Notes

¹tn Heb “will be torn in pieces.” The perfect indicates the certitude of the event, from the Lord’s rhetorical perspective.

²tn Heb “my deliverance.” The same Hebrew word can also be translated “salvation” (so KJV, NAB, NASB, NIV, NRSV, NLT); cf. CEV “victory.”

³tn Heb “my righteousness [or “vindication”].”

⁴tn Heb “will not be shattered [or “dismayed”].”
