CSB Footnotes
Hb obscure
Lit mistake lives with
Lit gone
Lit they raise up their way
Or The resident aliens in my household
Lit and the sons of my belly
Lit of the men of my council
Or know my living Redeemer
Lit skin which they destroyed, or skin they destroyed in this way
Or apart from
Or not a stranger
Lit My kidneys grow faint
Some Hb mss, LXX, Vg; other Hb mss read me
