35:11 Violent men perjure themselves, 1
and falsely accuse me. 2
103:9 He does not always accuse,
and does not stay angry. 3
1 tn Heb “witnesses of violence rise up.”
2 tn Heb “[that] which I do not know they ask me.”
3 tn The Hebrew verb נָטַר (natar) is usually taken to mean “to keep; to guard,” with “anger” being understood by ellipsis. The idiom “to guard anger” is then understood to mean “to remain angry” (see Lev 19:18; Jer 3:5, 12; Nah 1:2). However, it is possible that this is a homonymic root meaning “to be angry” (see HALOT 695 s.v. נטר).
