Psalms 68:12

Kings leading armies run away – they run away! ¹  The lovely lady ²  of the house divides up the loot.

Ex 14:25; Nu 31:8,9,54; Nu 31:27; Jos 10:16,42; Jos 12:7,8-24; Jud 5:19; 1Sa 30:24; Re 6:15; Re 19:17-20

¹ tn The verbal repetition draws attention to the statement.

² tn The Hebrew form appears to be the construct of נוּה (nuh, “pasture”) but the phrase “pasture of the house” makes no sense here. The translation assumes that the form is an alternative or corruption of נצוה (“beautiful woman”). A reference to a woman would be appropriate in light of v. 11b.
