¹ tn The words “this prayer” are supplied in the translation for clarity and for stylistic reasons.

² tn Heb “to give thanks.” The infinitive construct indicates result after the imperative.

³ tn Heb “to boast in your praise.”

⁴ tn Heb “house.”

⁵ tn Heb “That is why your servant found to pray before you.” Perhaps the phrase אֶת לִבּוֹ (’et libbo, “his heart”) should be supplied as the object of the verb “found.”
