Psalms 18:18-19

Context

18:18 They confronted 1  me in my day of calamity,

but the Lord helped me. 2 

18:19 He brought me out into a wide open place;

he delivered me because he was pleased with me. 3 

1 tn The same verb is translated “trapped” in v. 5. In this poetic narrative context the prefixed verbal form is best understood as a preterite indicating past tense, not imperfect.

2 tn Heb “became my support.”

3 tn Or “delighted in me.”
