73:6 Arrogance is their necklace, 1
and violence their clothing. 2
119:91 Today they stand firm by your decrees,
for all things are your servants.
1 sn Arrogance is their necklace. The metaphor suggests that their arrogance is something the wicked “wear” proudly. It draws attention to them, just as a beautiful necklace does to its owner.
2 tn Heb “a garment of violence covers them.” The metaphor suggests that violence is habitual for the wicked. They “wear” it like clothing; when one looks at them, violence is what one sees.
