38:13 But I am like a deaf man – I hear nothing;
I am like a mute who cannot speak. 1
49:17 For he will take nothing with him when he dies;
his wealth will not follow him down into the grave. 2
119:51 Arrogant people do nothing but scoff at me. 3
Yet I do not turn aside from your law.
1 sn I am like a deaf man…like a mute. The psalmist is like a deaf mute; he is incapable of defending himself and is vulnerable to his enemies’ deception (see v. 14).
2 tn Heb “his glory will not go down after him.”
3 tn Heb “scoff at me to excess.”
