Psalms 55:23

Context

55:23 But you, O God, will bring them 1  down to the deep Pit. 2 

Violent and deceitful people 3  will not live even half a normal lifespan. 4 

But as for me, I trust in you.

1 tn The pronominal suffix refers to the psalmist’s enemies (see v. 19).

2 tn Heb “well of the pit.” The Hebrew term שַׁחַת (shakhat, “pit”) is often used as a title for Sheol (see Pss 16:10; 30:9; 49:9; 103:4).

3 tn Heb “men of bloodshed and deceit.”

4 tn Heb “will not divide in half their days.”
