Psalms 9:13

Context

9:13 when they prayed: 1 

“Have mercy on me, 2  Lord!

See how I am oppressed by those who hate me, 3 

O one who can snatch me away 4  from the gates of death!

1 tn The words “when they prayed,” though not represented in the Hebrew text, are supplied in the translation for clarification. The petition in vv. 13-14 is best understood as the cry for help which the oppressed offered to God when the nations threatened. The Lord answered this request, prompting the present song of thanksgiving.

2 tn Or “show me favor.”

3 tn Heb “see my misery from the ones who hate me.”

4 tn Heb “one who lifts me up.”
