1 tn Or “hide.”
2 tn Heb “your word.” Some medieval Hebrew
3 tn Or “even though.”
4 tn The Hebrew word נֹאד (no’d, “leather container”) refers to a container made from animal skin which is used to hold wine or milk (see Josh 9:4, 13; Judg 4:19; 1 Sam 16:20).
5 tn Heb “in the smoke.”
6 tn Heb “my life [is] in my hands continually.”
7 tn Heb “I stray like a lost sheep.” It is possible that the point of the metaphor is vulnerability: The psalmist, who is threatened by his enemies, feels as vulnerable as a straying, lost sheep. This would not suggest, however, that he has wandered from God’s path (see the second half of the verse, as well as v. 110).
