and viciously attack them. 2 

Psalms 37:14

Context

37:14 Evil men draw their swords

and prepare their bows,

to bring down 3  the oppressed and needy,

and to slaughter those who are godly. 4 

1 tn Or “innocent.” The singular is used here in a representative sense; the typical evildoer and the typical godly individual are in view.

2 tn Heb “and gnashes at him with his teeth” (see Ps 35:16). The language may picture the evil men as wild animals. The active participles in v. 12 are used for purposes of dramatic description.

3 tn Heb “to cause to fall.”

4 tn Heb “the upright in way,” i.e., those who lead godly lives.
