106:42 Their enemies oppressed them;
they were subject to their authority. 1
107:12 So he used suffering to humble them; 2
they stumbled and no one helped them up.
81:14 Then I would quickly subdue their enemies,
and attack 3 their adversaries.”
1 tn Heb “they were subdued under their hand.”
2 tn Heb “and he subdued with suffering their heart.”
3 tn Heb “turn my hand against.” The idiom “turn the hand against” has the nuance of “strike with the hand, attack” (see Isa 1:25; Ezek 38:12; Amos 1:8; Zech 13:7).
