NET © Notes |
1 sn You have heard. The psalmist is confident that God has responded positively to his earlier petitions for divine intervention. The psalmist apparently prayed the words of vv. 16-18 after the reception of an oracle of deliverance (given in response to the confident petition of vv. 12-15) or after the Lord actually delivered him from his enemies. 2 tn Heb “desire.” 3 tn Heb “you make firm their heart, you cause your ear to listen.” |
