1 tn Heb “and now my head will be lifted up over my enemies all around me.”
sn In vv. 1-3 the psalmist generalizes, but here we discover that he is facing a crisis and is under attack from enemies (see vv. 11-12).

4 tn Heb “in him my heart trusts.”
5 tn Or “I am helped.”
6 tn Heb “and my heart exults.”
7 tn Heb “and from my song I will thank him.” As pointed in the Hebrew text, מִשִּׁירִי (mishiri) appears to be “from my song,” but the preposition “from” never occurs elsewhere with the verb “to thank” (Hiphil of יָדָה, yadah). Perhaps משׁיר is a noun form meaning “song.” If so, it can be taken as an adverbial accusative, “and [with] my song I will thank him.” See P. C. Craigie, Psalms 1-50 (WBC), 236.
8 tn Heb “your justice I have not hidden in the midst of my heart.”
9 tn Heb “I have not hidden your loyal love and reliability.”
10 tn Or “my elevated place” (see Ps 18:2).
11 tn Heb “and my shelter in the day of my distress.”
12 tn Heb “but as for me, the nearness of God for me [is] good.”
13 tn The infinitive construct with -לְ (lÿ) is understood here as indicating an attendant circumstance. Another option is to take it as indicating purpose (“so that I might declare”) or result (“with the result that I declare”).
