Psalms 18:17

18:17 He rescued me from my strong enemy, ¹ 

from those who hate me,

for they were too strong for me.

Psalms 142:6

142:6 Listen to my cry for help,

for I am in serious trouble! ² 

Rescue me from those who chase me,

for they are stronger than I am.

[18:17]  ¹ tn The singular refers either to personified death or collectively to the psalmist’s enemies. The following line, which refers to “those [plural] who hate me,” favors the latter.

[142:6]  ² tn Heb “for I am very low.”
