1 tn Heb “my soul clings to the dirt.” The Hebrew term נֶפֶשׁ (nefesh, “being; soul”) with a pronominal suffix is often equivalent to a pronoun, especially in poetry (see BDB 660 s.v. נֶפֶשׁ 4.a).

2 tn Heb “according to your word.” Many medieval Hebrew mss read the plural “your words.”

3 tn Heb “Make my eyes pass by from looking at what is worthless.”

4 tn Heb “by your word.”

5 tn Or “righteousness.”

6 tn Heb “according to your word.”

7 tn Or “argue my case.”

8 tn Heb “and redeem me.” The verb “redeem” casts the Lord in the role of a leader who protects members of his extended family in times of need and crisis (see Ps 19:14).

9 tn Heb “according to your customs.”
