16:7 But the Lord said to Samuel, “Don’t be impressed by ¹²  his appearance or his height, for I have rejected him. God does not view things the way men do. ¹³  People look on the outward appearance, ¹⁴  but the Lord looks at the heart.”

[22:7]  ¹ tn Or “scoff at, deride, mock.”

[22:7]  ² tn Heb “they separate with a lip.” Apparently this refers to their verbal taunting.

[22:7]  ³ sn Shake their heads. Apparently this refers to a taunting gesture. See also Job 16:4; Ps 109:25; Lam 2:15.

[42:3]  ⁴ tn Heb “My tears have become my food day and night.”

[42:3]  ⁵ tn Heb “when [they] say to me all the day.” The suffixed third masculine plural pronoun may have been accidentally omitted from the infinitive בֶּאֱמֹר (be’ÿmor, “when [they] say”). Note the term בְּאָמְרָם (bÿ’omram, “when they say”) in v. 10.

[42:10]  ⁶ tc Heb “with a shattering in my bones my enemies taunt me.” A few medieval Hebrew mss and Symmachus’ Greek version read “like” instead of “with.”

[42:10]  ⁷ sn “Where is your God?” The enemies ask this same question in v. 3.

[71:11]  ⁸ tn Heb “saying.”

[71:2]  ⁹ tn Heb “in your vindication rescue me and deliver me.” Ps 31:1 omits “and deliver me.”

[71:2]  ¹⁰ tn Heb “turn toward me your ear.”

[71:2]  ¹¹ tn Ps 31:2 adds “quickly” before “deliver.”

[16:7]  ¹² tn Heb “don’t look toward.”

[16:7]  ¹³ tn Heb “for not that which the man sees.” The translation follows the LXX, which reads, “for not as man sees does God see.” The MT has suffered from homoioteleuton or homoioarcton. See P. K. McCarter, I Samuel (AB), 274.

[16:7]  ¹⁴ tn Heb “to the eyes.”

[16:8]  ¹⁵ tn Heb “and caused him to pass before.”

[16:8]  ¹⁶ tn Heb “he” (also in v. 9); the referent (Samuel) has been specified in the translation for clarity.

[27:42]  ¹⁷ tn Here the aorist imperative καταβάτω (katabatw) has been translated as a conditional imperative. This fits the pattern of other conditional imperatives (imperative + καί + future indicative) outlined by ExSyn 489.

[27:43]  ¹⁸ sn An allusion to Ps 22:8.
