  • Textual note on מִנִּי־צָר: LXX includes a possessive pronoun that is not present in MT (παρὰ τοὺς ἐχθροὺς ἡμῶν). This reading is reflected in a few modern translations (NLT, GNB, NCV). The inclusion of the pronoun could be explained as having been supplied by the LXX translators to smooth out the rendering, and thus the MT reading is preferred.
