Psalms 97:5

97:5 The mountains melt like wax before the Lord,

before the Lord of the whole earth.

Psalms 22:14

22:14 My strength drains away like water;

all my bones are dislocated;

my heart is like wax;

it melts away inside me.

Psalms 68:2

68:2 As smoke is driven away by the wind, so you drive them away.

As wax melts before fire,

so the wicked are destroyed before God.


tn Heb “like water I am poured out.”

sn The heart is viewed here as the seat of the psalmist’s strength and courage.

tn Heb “as smoke is scattered, you scatter [them].”
