¹ tn Actually two Hebrew terms appear here, both of which are usually taken as referring to locusts. Perhaps different stages of growth or different varieties are in view.

² tn Heb “in the land, his gates.”

³ tn Or “soul.”

⁴ tn Heb “in the land of their enemies.”

⁵ tn Heb “your name.” See the note on the word “reputation” in v. 41.
