Psalms 35:10

With all my strength I will say, ¹  “O Lord, who can compare to you? You rescue ²  the oppressed from those who try to overpower them; ³  the oppressed and needy from those who try to rob them.” ⁴ 

Ex 15:11; Job 5:15,16; Job 33:19-25; Ps 10:14; Ps 18:17; Ps 22:14; Ps 22:24; Ps 32:3; Ps 34:6; Ps 34:20; Ps 38:3; Ps 51:8; Ps 69:33; Ps 71:19; Ps 86:8; Ps 89:6-8; Ps 102:3; Ps 102:17-20; Ps 109:31; Ps 140:12; Pr 22:22,23; Isa 40:18,25; Jer 10:7

¹ tn Heb “all my bones will say.”

² tn Heb “[the one who] rescues.” The substantival participle in the Hebrew text characterizes God as one who typically rescues the oppressed.

³ tn Heb “from [the one who is] too strong for him.” The singular forms are used in a representative sense. The typical oppressed individual and typical oppressor are in view.

⁴ tn Heb “the oppressed [one] and needy [one] from [the one who] robs him.” As in the previous line, the singular forms are used in a representative sense.
