Psalms 18:45

Context

18:45 foreigners lose their courage; 1 

they shake with fear 2  as they leave 3  their strongholds. 4 

1 tn Heb “wither, wear out.”

2 tn The meaning of חָרַג (kharag, “shake”) is established on the basis of cognates in Arabic and Aramaic. 2 Sam 22:46 reads חָגַר (khagar), which might mean here, “[they] come limping” (on the basis of a cognate in postbiblical Hebrew). The normal meaning for חָגַר (“gird”) makes little sense here.

3 tn Heb “from.”

4 tn Heb “their prisons.” The besieged cities of the foreigners are compared to prisons.
