Psalms 6:7

6:7 My eyes grow dim from suffering;

they grow weak because of all my enemies.

Psalms 92:12

92:12 The godly grow like a palm tree;

they grow high like a cedar in Lebanon.


tn The Hebrew text has the singular “eye” here.

tn Or perhaps, “are swollen.”

tn Or perhaps, “grow old.”

sn In his weakened condition the psalmist is vulnerable to the taunts and threats of his enemies.

tn The singular is used in a representative sense, with the typical godly person being in view.

sn The cedars of the Lebanon forest were well-known in ancient Israel for their immense size.
