Lamentations 3:58

Context

ר (Resh)

3:58 O Lord, 1  you championed 2  my cause, 3 

you redeemed my life.

1 tc The MT reads אֲדֹנָי (’adonay, “the Lord”) here rather than יהוה (YHWH, “the Lord”) as in the following verse. See the tc note at 1:14.

2 tn This verb, like others in this stanza, could be understood as a precative (“Plead”).

3 tn Heb “the causes of my soul.” The term נַפְשִׁי (nafshi, “my soul”) is a synecdoche of part (= my soul) for the whole person (= me).
