Psalms 37:35

Context

37:35 I have seen ruthless evil men 1 

growing in influence, like a green tree grows in its native soil. 2 

Psalms 95:9

Context

95:9 where your ancestors challenged my authority, 3 

and tried my patience, even though they had seen my work.

1 tn The Hebrew uses the representative singular again here.

2 tn Heb “being exposed [?] like a native, luxuriant.” The Hebrew form מִתְעָרֶה (mitareh) appears to be a Hitpael participle from עָרָה (’arah, “be exposed”), but this makes no sense in this context. Perhaps the form is a dialectal variant of מִתְעָלָה (“giving oneself an air of importance”; see Jer 51:3), from עָלָה (’alah, “go up”; see P. C. Craigie, Psalms 1-50 [WBC], 296). The noun אֶזְרָח (’ezrakh, “native, full citizen”) refers elsewhere to people, but here, where it is collocated with “luxuriant, green,” it probably refers to a tree growing in native soil.

3 tn Heb “where your fathers tested me.”
