Footnotes

  1. 2 Samuel 22:49 tn Heb “and [the one who] brings me out from my enemies.”
  2. 2 Samuel 22:49 tn Heb “you lift me up.” In light of the preceding and following references to deliverance, the verb רוּם (rum) probably here refers to being rescued from danger (see Ps 9:13).

  3. 2 Samuel 22:49 tn Heb “from those who rise against me.”
