120:6 For too long I have had to reside
with those who hate 1 peace.
120:7 I am committed to peace, 2
but when I speak, they want to make war. 3
[120:6] 1 tn The singular participial form probably has a representative function here. The psalmist envisions the typical hater of peace who represents the entire category of such individuals.
[120:7] 2 tn Heb “I, peace.”
[120:7] 3 tn Heb “they [are] for war.”
