tn Heb “the ones who observe vain things of falsehood.” See Jonah 2:9.

tn The Hebrew term אֱלִילִים (’elilim, “worthless”) sounds like אֱלֹהִים (’elohim, “gods”). The sound play draws attention to the statement.

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

tn Heb “by your word.”
