Psalms 55:6

Context

55:6 I say, 1  “I wish I had wings like a dove!

I would fly away and settle in a safe place!

Psalms 68:13

Context

68:13 When 2  you lie down among the sheepfolds, 3 

the wings of the dove are covered with silver

and with glittering gold. 4 

1 tn The prefixed verbal form with vav (ו) consecutive carries on the descriptive (present progressive) force of the verbs in v. 5.

2 tn Or “if.”

3 tn The meaning of the Hebrew word translated “sheepfolds” is uncertain. There may be an echo of Judg 5:16 here.

4 tn Heb “and her pinions with the yellow of gold.”

sn The point of the imagery of v. 13 is not certain, though the reference to silver and gold appears to be positive. Both would be part of the loot carried away from battle (see v. 12b).
