1 tn Or “our lives.” The suffixed form of נֶפֶשׁ (nefesh, “being, life”) is often equivalent to a pronoun in poetic texts.
2 tn Or “[source of] help.”
3 tn Or “protector.”
4 tn Or “my helper.”
5 tn Or “sustain my life.”
6 tn Heb “my high rocky summit.”
7 tn Or “my elevated place” (see Ps 18:2).
8 tn The Hebrew text adds רַבָּה (rabbah, “greatly”) at the end of the line. It is unusual for this adverb to follow a negated verb. Some see this as qualifying the assertion to some degree, but this would water down the affirmation too much (see v. 6b, where the adverb is omitted). If the adverb has a qualifying function, it would suggest that the psalmist might be upended, though not severely. This is inconsistent with the confident mood of the psalm. The adverb probably has an emphatic force here, “I will not be greatly upended” meaning “I will not be annihilated.”
9 tn Heb “my high rocky summit.”
10 tn Or “my elevated place” (see Ps 18:2).
11 sn The wording is identical to that of v. 2, except that רַבָּה (rabbah, “greatly”) does not appear in v. 6.
12 tn Heb “my high rocky summit.”
13 tn Heb “and [that] God Most High [was] their redeemer.”
14 tn Heb “break your displeasure with us.” Some prefer to emend הָפֵר (hafer, “break”) to הָסֵר (haser, “turn aside”).
15 tn Or “[source of] help.”
16 tn Heb “and their shield.”
17 tn Heb “house.”
18 tn Or “[source of] help.”
19 tn Heb “and their shield.”
