¹ tc The MT has the form אֲדֹנָי (’adonay, “Master”) which is reserved for God. This may reflect later scribal activity. The scribes, knowing it was the Lord, may have put the proper pointing with the word instead of the more common אֲדֹנִי (’adoni, “my master”).

² tn Heb “do not pass by from upon your servant.”

³ tn Heb “he”; the referent (the Lord) has been specified in the translation for clarity.
