35:17 O Lord, how long are you going to just stand there and watch this? 1
Rescue 2 me 3 from their destructive attacks;
guard my life 4 from the young lions!
35:18 Then I will give you thanks in the great assembly; 5
I will praise you before a large crowd of people! 6
1 tn Heb “O Lord, how long will you see?”
2 tn Heb “bring back, restore.”
3 tn Or “my life.”
4 tn Heb “my only one.” The psalmist may mean that his life is precious, or that he feels isolated and alone (see Ps 22:20). The verb “guard” is supplied in the translation, because the verb “rescue” is understood by ellipsis (see the previous line).
5 sn The great assembly is also mentioned in Ps 22:25.
6 tn Heb “among numerous people.”
