27:7 “May my enemy be like the wicked, 1
my adversary 2 like the unrighteous. 3
1 sn Of course, he means like his enemy when he is judged, not when he is thriving in prosperity and luxury.
2 tn The form is the Hitpolel participle from קוּם (qum): “those who are rising up against me,” or “my adversary.”
3 tc The LXX made a free paraphrase: “No, but let my enemies be as the overthrow of the ungodly, and they that rise up against me as the destruction of transgressors.”
