TSNTyndale Study Notes:

3:1-66 In this chapter, the author laments what has happened (3:1-20, 48-54), remembers the faithful love of the Lord (3:21-25), describes how God’s people should respond (3:26-47), and calls upon the Lord in prayer (3:55-66).


UTNuW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

(Occurrence 0) I have been hunted like a bird by those who were my enemies

(Some words not found in UHB: to_hunt hunt,me like_the,bird enemies,my without_cause )

The author speaks of people looking for him in order to kill him as if he were an animal that they were hunting. If your language does not use the passive form in this way, you can state this in active form or in another way that is natural in your language. Alternate translation: “My enemies have looked for me in order to kill me like people who hunt for a bird”
