Psalms 141:8

Surely I am looking to you, ¹  O sovereign Lord. In you I take shelter. Do not expose me to danger! ² 

2Ch 20:12; Ps 25:15; Ps 25:16,17; Ps 102:17; Ps 123:1,2; Ps 143:3,4; Isa 41:17; Joh 14:18

¹ tn Heb “my eyes [are] toward you.”

² tn Heb “do not lay bare my life.” Only here is the Piel form of the verb collocated with the term נֶפֶשׁ (nefesh, “life”). In Isa 53:12 the Lord’s servant “lays bare (the Hiphil form of the verb is used) his life to death.”
