Psalms 9:20

9:20 Terrify them, Lord!

Let the nations know they are mere mortals! (Selah)

Psalms 83:15

83:15 chase them with your gale winds,

and terrify them with your windstorm.


tn Heb “place, Lord, terror with regard to them.” The Hebrew term מוֹרָה (morah, “terror”) is an alternative form of מוֹרָא (mora’; a reading that appears in some mss and finds support in several ancient textual witnesses).

tn Heb “let the nations know they [are] man[kind]”; i.e., mere human beings (as opposed to God).

tn The two imperfect verbal forms in v. 15 express the psalmist’s wish or prayer.
