Psalms 109:22

Context

109:22 For I am oppressed and needy,

and my heart beats violently within me. 1 

Psalms 109:31

Context

109:31 because he stands at the right hand of the needy,

to deliver him from those who threaten 2  his life.

1 tc The verb in the Hebrew text (חָלַל, khalal) appears to be a Qal form from the root חלל meaning “pierced; wounded.” However, the Qal of this root is otherwise unattested. The translation assumes an emendation to יָחִיל (yakhil), a Qal imperfect from חוּל (khul, “tremble”) or to חֹלַל (kholal), a polal perfect from חוּל (khul). See Ps 55:4, which reads לִבִּי יָחִיל בְּקִרְבִּי (libbiy yakhil bÿqirbbiy, “my heart trembles [i.e., “beats violently”] within me”).

2 tn Heb “judge.”
