Psalms 90:11

Context

90:11 Who can really fathom the intensity of your anger? 1 

Your raging fury causes people to fear you. 2 

Psalms 147:8

Context

147:8 He covers 3  the sky with clouds,

provides the earth with rain,

and causes grass to grow on the hillsides. 4 

1 tn Heb “Who knows the strength of your anger?”

2 tn Heb “and like your fear [is] your raging fury.” Perhaps one should emend וּכְיִרְאָתְךְ (ukhyirotekh, “and like your fear”) to יִרְאָתְךְ (yirotkh, “your fear”), understanding a virtual dittography (אַפֶּךָ וּכְיִרְאָתְךְ, ’apekha ukhyirotekh) to have occurred. In this case the psalmist asserts “your fear [is] your raging fury,” that is, your raging fury is what causes others to fear you. The suffix on “fear” is understood as objective.

3 tn Heb “the one who covers.”

4 tn Heb “hills.”
