Footnotes
The geographic markers — the Yarden (Jordan), the Hermons (חֶרְמוֹנִים, plural, indicating the mountain range), and the obscure *har miṣʿār* (הַר מִצְעָר, 'Mount Mitzar/the Small Mountain') — place the psalmist in the far north of the land, possibly near the sources of the Jordan on the Hermon slopes, physically and spiritually distant from the Temple in Yerushalayim. *Miṣʿār* (מִצְעָר) means 'smallness' or 'insignificance,' carrying possible emotional irony — the psalmist marooned on an unremarkable outcrop, far from the holy mountain. FOG transliterates *Mitzar* to preserve the name's meaning; FOG Message follows the conventional English 'Mizar.'
