Psalms 66:12

66:12 You allowed men to ride over our heads;

we passed through fire and water,

but you brought us out into a wide open place.

Psalms 74:7

74:7 They set your sanctuary on fire;

they desecrate your dwelling place by knocking it to the ground.

Psalms 80:16

80:16 It is burned and cut down.

They die because you are displeased with them.


tc The MT reads רְוָיָה (“saturation”) but this should be emended to רְוָחָה (rÿvakhah, “wide open place”; i.e., “relief”), a reading supported by several ancient versions (LXX, Syriac, Jerome, Targum).

tn Heb “to the ground they desecrate the dwelling place of your name.”

tn Heb “burned with fire.”

tn Heb “because of the rebuke of your face they perish.”
