FOOTNOTES: F337: SELAH   This word is for the musicians. It probably means the singers should pause here or the music should be louder here. F338: lyres   An instrument with several strings, like a harp. F339: director   Or, "performer." F340: A miktam of David   The exact meaning of "miktam" is not known. It might mean "a well-arranged song." This song was either written by David or dedicated to him. F341: Their anger … snake venom   This is a word play in Hebrew. The word meaning "anger" sounds like the word "poison, venom". F342: music … evil plans   This is a word play in Hebrew. The Hebrew phrase can mean either "…the snake charmers who create crafty magic formulas" or "…snake charmers. {Those evil people} make their sneaky schemes." F343: May they … path   Or, "May He (God) shoot his arrows, {cutting them down} as if they were withering {grass}." F344: He will be … enemies   Literally, "He will wash his feet in the blood of those wicked men." F345: There really is … world   Or, "There really are powerful leaders ruling and judging this land" or possibly, "God really does have {good} judges ruling this land."
