New English Translation

Footnotes

1. Psalm 39:10 tn Heb “remove from upon me your wound.”
2. Psalm 39:10 tn Heb “from the hostility of your hand I have come to an end.”
3. Psalm 39:11 tn “with punishments on account of sin you discipline a man.”
4. Psalm 39:11 tc Heb “you cause to dissolve, like a moth, his desired [thing].” The translation assumes an emendation of חֲמוּדוֹ (khamudo, “his desirable [thing]”) to חֶמְדוֹ (khemdo, “his loveliness” [or “beauty”]), a reading that is supported by a few medieval Hebrew mss.
