1 tn Heb “to her voice.”
2 tn Heb “and he humiliated her and lay with her.”
3 tn The same verb is translated “trapped” in v. 6. In this poetic narrative context the prefixed verbal form is best understood as a preterite indicating past tense, not imperfect. Cf. NAB, NCV, TEV, NLT “attacked.”
4 tn Heb “became my support.”
5 tn Or perhaps “humble” (so NIV, NRSV, NLT; note the contrast with those who are proud).
6 tc Heb “but your eyes are upon the proud, you bring low.” Ps 18:27 reads “but proud eyes you bring low.”
