Psalms 35:7

35:7 I did not harm them, but they hid a net to catch me

and dug a pit to trap me.

Psalms 35:11

35:11 Violent men perjure themselves,

and falsely accuse me.


tc Heb “for without cause they hid for me a pit of their net, without cause they dug for my life.” It appears that the words “pit” and “net” have been transposed. “Net” goes with the verb “hid” in the first line (see v. 8, as well as Pss 9:15; 31:4), while “pit” goes with the verb “dug” in the second line (see Ps 7:15).

tn Heb “witnesses of violence rise up.”

tn Heb “[that] which I do not know they ask me.”
