1 Samuel 23:21

23:21 Saul replied, “May you be blessed by the Lord, for you have had compassion on me.

Psalms 64:5

64:5 They encourage one another to carry out their evil deed. ¹ 

They plan how to hide ²  snares,

and boast, ³  “Who will see them?” ⁴ 

Acts 5:9

5:9 Peter then told her, “Why have you agreed together to test the Spirit of the Lord? Look! The feet of those who have buried your husband are at the door, and they will carry you out!”

¹ tn Heb “they give strength to themselves, an evil matter [or “word”].”

² tn Heb “they report about hiding.”

³ tn Heb “they say.”

⁴ tn If this is a direct quotation (cf. NASB, NIV), the pronoun “them” refers to the snares mentioned in the previous line. If it is an indirect quotation, then the pronoun may refer to the enemies themselves (cf. NEB, which is ambiguous). Some translations retain the direct quotation but alter the pronoun to “us,” referring clearly to the enemies (cf. NRSV).
