Psalms 55:4

Context

Psalms 109:22

Context

109:22 For I am oppressed and needy,

and my heart beats violently within me. 5 

1 tn Heb “may their eyes be darkened from seeing.”

2 tn Heb “make their hips shake continually.”

3 tn Heb “shakes, trembles.”

4 tn Heb “the terrors of death have fallen on me.”

5 tc The verb in the Hebrew text (חָלַל, khalal) appears to be a Qal form from the root חלל meaning “pierced; wounded.” However, the Qal of this root is otherwise unattested. The translation assumes an emendation to יָחִיל (yakhil), a Qal imperfect from חוּל (khul, “tremble”) or to חֹלַל (kholal), a polal perfect from חוּל (khul). See Ps 55:4, which reads לִבִּי יָחִיל בְּקִרְבִּי (libbiy yakhil bÿqirbbiy, “my heart trembles [i.e., “beats violently”] within me”).
