2 tn Instead of “in the middle of the land,” some English versions render this phrase “a tree at the center of the earth” (NRSV); NAB, CEV “of the world”; NLT “in the middle of the earth.” The Hebrew phrase can have either meaning.
3 tn Aram “its height was great.”
4 tn Aram “house.”
5 tn Aram “by the might of my strength.”
6 tn Aram “my brightness was changing on me.”
7 tn Aram “in my heart.”
