Discovery BoxPsalms 31:10 
Context31:10 For my life nears its end in pain;
my years draw to a close as I groan. 1

Psalms 65:9
Context65:9 You visit the earth and give it rain; 4

9 tn Heb “for a cup [is] in the hand of the
10 tn Heb “and he pours out from this.”
11 tn Heb “surely its dregs they slurp up and drink, all the wicked of the earth.”
