ק (Qof)
3:55 I have called on your name, O Lord,
from the deepest pit. 1
3:56 You heard 2 my plea: 3
“Do not close your ears to my cry for relief!” 4
1 tn Heb “from a pit of lowest places.”
2 tn The verb could be understood as a precative, “hear my plea,” parallel to the following volitive verb, “do not close.”
3 tn Heb “my voice.”
4 tn The preposition ל (lamed) continues syntactically from “my plea” in the previous line (e.g. Ex 5:2; Josh 22:2; 1 Sam 8:7; 12:1; Jer 43:4).
