NET Notes

¹tn Heb “may they be embarrassed and ashamed together, the ones seeking my life to snatch it away.”

²tn The four prefixed verbal forms in this verse (“may those…be…embarrassed and ashamed…may those…be turned back and ashamed”) are understood as jussives. The psalmist is calling judgment down on his enemies.

²sn See Ps 35:4 for a similar prayer.
