Psalms 73:18-19

Context

73:18 Surely 1  you put them in slippery places;

you bring them down 2  to ruin.

73:19 How desolate they become in a mere moment!

Terrifying judgments make their demise complete! 3 

1 tn The use of the Hebrew term אַךְ (’akh, “surely”) here literarily counteracts its use in v. 13. The repetition draws attention to the contrast between the two statements, the first of which expresses the psalmist’s earlier despair and the second his newly discovered confidence.

2 tn Heb “cause them to fall.”

3 tn Heb “they come to an end, they are finished, from terrors.”
