but left no footprints. ⁷

Your exploits are incomparable! ⁸ 

[35:10]  ¹ tn Heb “all my bones will say.”

[35:10]  ² tn Heb “[the one who] rescues.” The substantival participle in the Hebrew text characterizes God as one who typically rescues the oppressed.

[35:10]  ³ tn Heb “from [the one who is] too strong for him.” The singular forms are used in a representative sense. The typical oppressed individual and typical oppressor are in view.

[35:10]  ⁴ tn Heb “the oppressed [one] and needy [one] from [the one who] robs him.” As in the previous line, the singular forms are used in a representative sense.

[77:19]  ⁵ tn Heb “in the sea [was] your way.”

[77:19]  ⁶ tn Heb “and your paths [were] in the mighty waters.”

[77:19]  ⁷ tn Heb “and your footprints were not known.”

[86:8]  ⁸ tn Heb “and there are none like your acts.”
