1 tn Or “elevated”; NCV, NLT “is very great.”
2 tn Or “for” (KJV, NASB, NIV).
3 tn Heb “on high” (so KJV, NAB, NASB, NIV, NRSV); CEV “in the heavens.”
4 tn Heb “[in] peace”; KJV, ASV “safely”; NASB “in safety”; NIV “unscathed.”
5 tn Heb “a way with his feet he does not come [or “enter”].” One could translate, “by a way he was not [previously] entering with his feet.” This would mean that he is advancing into new territory and expanding his conquests. The present translation assumes this is a hyperbolic description to his speedy advance. He moves so quickly he does not enter the way with his feet, i.e., his feet don’t even touch the ground. See C. R. North, Second Isaiah, 94.
6 tn Heb “he will not cause his voice to be heard in the street.”
7 tn Heb “while he allows himself to be found.” The Niphal form has a tolerative force here.
