text: Heb “in glory.” Here “glory” probably refers to the “honor” that belongs to the Lord ’s people as a result of their deliverance (see v. 4 ).


text: The significance of the reference to “beds” is unclear. Perhaps the point is that they should rejoice at all times, even when falling asleep or awaking.


text: Heb “to do.”


text: Heb “to bind.”


text: Heb “they”; the referent (the enemies of the people of God) has been specified in the translation for clarity.
