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.”
