ק (Qof)
3:55 I have called on your name, O Lord,
from the deepest pit. 1
3:57 You came near 2 on the day I called to you;
you said, 3 “Do not fear!”
1 tn Heb “from a pit of lowest places.”
2 tn The verb could be understood as a precative (“Draw near”). The perspective of the poem seems to be that of prayer during distress rather than a testimony that God has delivered.
3 tn The verb could be understood as a precative (“Say”).
