Psalms 94:17

Context

94:17 If the Lord had not helped me,

I would have laid down in the silence of death. 1 

Psalms 141:9

Context

141:9 Protect me from the snare they have laid for me,

and the traps the evildoers have set. 2 

1 tn Heb “If the Lord [were] not my help, quickly my life would have lain down in silence.” The psalmist, perhaps speaking as the nation’s representative, recalls God’s past intervention. For other examples of conditional sentences with the term לוּלֵי (luley, “if not”) in the protasis and a perfect verbal form in the apodosis, see Pss 119:92 and 124:2-5.

2 tn Heb “and the traps of the doers of evil.”
