2 Samuel 22:18

22:18 He rescued me from my strong enemy,

from those who hate me,

for they were too strong for me.

2 Samuel 22:20

22:20 He brought me out into a wide open place;

he delivered me because he was pleased with me.


tn The singular refers either to personified death or collectively to the psalmist’s enemies. The following line, which refers to “those [plural] who hate me,” favors the latter.

tn Or “delighted in me” (so KJV, NASB, NIV, NRSV).
