1 tn The prefixed verbal form is a preterite (without vav [ו] consecutive).
2 tn Heb “an [object of] taunting and [of] mockery to those around us.”
3 tn Heb “we have not forgotten you.” To “forget” God refers here to worshiping false gods and thereby refusing to recognize his sovereignty (see v. 20, as well as Deut 8:19; Judg 3:7; 1 Sam 12:9; Isa 17:10; Jer 3:21; Ps 9:17).Thus the translation “we have not rejected you” has been used.
4 tn Heb “and we did not deal falsely with your covenant.”
5 tn Heb “not according to our sins does he do to us.”
6 tn Heb “and not according to our misdeeds does he repay us.”
7 tn Heb “for greatly we are filled [with] humiliation.”
