Footnotes

  1. Psalm 10:18 tn Heb “to judge (on behalf of),” or “by judging (on behalf of).”
  2. Psalm 10:18 tn Heb “crushed.” See v. 10.
  3. Psalm 10:18 tn Heb “he will not add again [i.e., “he will no longer”] to terrify, man from the earth.” The Hebrew term אֱנוֹשׁ (ʾenosh, “man”) refers here to the wicked nations (v. 16). By describing them as “from the earth,” the psalmist emphasizes their weakness before the sovereign, eternal king.
