Footnotes
Dishanta (דִּשַּׁנְתָּ) comes from dashen, meaning to make fat or to anoint with lavish abundance—this is no token anointing but an act of extravagant honor. The table set neged tsorerai (נֶגֶד צֹרְרָי)—'in the sight of my adversaries'—is a breathtaking covenantal reversal: the hunted becomes the hosted, vindicated before those who sought his ruin. Kosi revayah (כּוֹסִי רְוָיָה) literally means 'my cup is saturated'—revayah from ravah, to drink to the point of dripping overflow. F.O.G. renders 'richly or lavishly anointed' to honor the intensive verb's weight; both translations retain 'overflows' as the most visceral rendering of saturated, undeniable abundance.
