1 tn In the Hebrew text the statement is phrased as a rhetorical question (“Did I say?”) meaning “I did not say.”
2 tn Heb “to one of the judges of Israel whom I commanded to shepherd my people.”
3 tn Heb “plant.”
4 tn Heb “shaken.”
5 tn Heb “and sons of violence will no longer consume them as in the beginning.”
6 tn Heb “and this was small in your eyes, O God, so you spoke concerning the house of your servant for a distance.”
7 tn The translation “You have revealed to me what men long to know” is very tentative; the meaning of the Hebrew text is unclear. The text appears to read literally, “and you see me like the searching of man, that which is upward,” which is nonsensical. The translation above assumes the following: (1) The Qal verb translated “you see me” is repointed as a Hiphil, “you showed me,” (2) תּוֹר (tor) is understood in the sense of “searching, exploring,” and (3) הַמַּעֲלָה (hamma’alah) is taken in a temporal sense of “that which lies beyond.” Thus one could translate, “you have shown me what men search for, what lies beyond.”
8 tn Heb “anger was on Israel.”
9 tc The Hebrew text has “in the number,” but מִסְפַּר (mispar) is probably dittographic – note that the same word appears immediately before this. The form should be emended to בְּסֵפֶר (bÿsefar, “in the scroll”).
