NET © Notes |
1 tn Heb “you were no deliverer.” Codex Alexandrinus (A) of the LXX has “no one was helping.” 2 tn Heb “I put my life in my hand.” 3 tn Heb “crossed over to.” 4 tn The Hebrew adds “against me” here. This is redundant in English and has not been included in the translation for stylistic reasons. |
