¹ tn Or “for he will.” The translation assumes the כִּי (ki) is asseverative here, rather than causal.

² tn Heb “he will hide me in his hut.”

³ tn Or “trouble.”

⁴ tn Heb “tent.”

⁵ tn The three imperfect verb forms in v. 5 anticipate a positive response to the prayer offered in vv. 7-12.

⁶ tn Heb “on a rocky summit he lifts me up.” The Lord places the psalmist in an inaccessible place where his enemies cannot reach him. See Ps 18:2.
