1 sn Psalm 10. Many Hebrew
2 tn Heb “you hide for times in trouble.” The interrogative “why” is understood by ellipsis; note the preceding line. The Hiphil verbal form “hide” has no expressed object. Some supply “your eyes” by ellipsis (see BDB 761 s.v. I עָלַם Hiph and HALOT 835 s.v. I עלם hif) or emend the form to a Niphal (“you hide yourself,” see BHS, note c; cf. NEB, NIV, NRSV).
3 tn Heb “and there is no helper.”
4 tn Heb “O my strength.”
5 tn Heb “hurry to my help.”
6 tn Or “wound,” or “illness.”
7 tn Heb “stand [aloof].”
8 tn Heb “and the ones near me off at a distance stand.”
9 tn Heb “too amazing [is this] knowledge for me, it is elevated, I cannot attain to it.”
