1 tn Or perhaps “surely.”
2 tn Heb “rebelling [against] the Most High.”
3 tn Heb “they were not separated from their desire.”
4 tn Or “tested and rebelled against.”
5 tn Heb “God, the Most High.”
6 tn Or “keep.”
7 tn Heb “his testimonies” (see Ps 25:10).
8 tn Heb “men.” The point in the context is mortality, however, not maleness.
sn You will die like mortals. For the concept of a god losing immortality and dying, see Isa 14:12-15, which alludes to a pagan myth in which the petty god “Shining One, son of the Dawn,” is hurled into Sheol for his hubris.
9 tn Heb “like one of the rulers.” The comparison does not necessarily imply that they are not rulers. The expression “like one of” can sometimes mean “as one of” (Gen 49:16; Obad 11) or “as any other of” (Judg 16:7, 11).
10 tn Heb “his name,” which here stands metonymically for God’s reputation.
11 tn Heb “the wicked wait for me to kill me.”
12 tn Heb “find.”
13 tn Heb “many [are] those who chase me and my enemies.”
