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

[71:2]  ³ tn Ps 31:2 adds “quickly” before “deliver.”

[91:14]  ⁴ tn The words “the Lord says” are supplied in the translation to clarify that the words which follow are the Lord’s oracle of assurance.

[91:14]  ⁵ tn Or “make him secure” (Heb “set him on high”).

[91:14]  ⁶ tn Heb “because he knows my name” (see Ps 9:10).
