NETBible

O Lord, do not let the wicked have their way!¹ Do not allow their² plan to succeed when they attack!³ (Selah)

NET Notes

¹tn Heb “do not grant the desires of the wicked.”

²tn Heb “his.” The singular is used in a representative sense (see v. 1).

³tn Heb “his plot do not promote, they rise up.” The translation understands the final verb as being an unmarked temporal clause. Another option is to revocalize the verb as a Hiphil and take the verb with the next verse, “those who surround me lift up [their] head,” which could refer to their proud attitude as they anticipate victory (see Ps 27:6).
