Footnotes
- Psalm 54:6 tn The cohortative verbal form expresses the psalmist’s resolve/vow to praise.
- Psalm 54:7 tn Or “for,” indicating a more specific reason why he will praise the Lord’s name (cf. v. 6).
- Psalm 54:7 tn The perfects in v. 7 are probably rhetorical, indicating the psalmist’s certitude and confidence that God will intervene. The psalmist is so confident of God’s positive response to his prayer, he can describe God’s deliverance and his own vindication as if they were occurring or had already occurred.
- Psalm 54:7 tn Heb “and on my enemies my eyes look.”
