2 Samuel 22:19

22:19 They confronted ¹  me in my day of calamity,

but the Lord helped me. ² 

[22:19]  ¹ tn The same verb is translated “trapped” in v. 6. In this poetic narrative context the prefixed verbal form is best understood as a preterite indicating past tense, not imperfect. Cf. NAB, NCV, TEV, NLT “attacked.”

[22:19]  ² tn Heb “became my support.”
