Psalms 139:21-22

139:21 O Lord, do I not hate those who hate you,

and despise those who oppose you? ¹ 

139:22 I absolutely hate them, ² 

they have become my enemies!

¹ tc Heb “who raise themselves up against you.” The form וּבִתְקוֹמְמֶיךָ (uvitqomÿmekha) should be emended to וּבְמִתְקוֹמְמֶיךָ (uvÿmitqomÿmekha), a Hitpolel participle (the prefixed mem [מ] of the participle is accidentally omitted in the MT, though a few medieval Hebrew mss have it).

² tn Heb “[with] completeness of hatred I hate them.”
