Psalms 33:15

33:15 He is the one who forms every human heart, ¹ 

and takes note of all their actions.

Psalms 88:17

88:17 They surround me like water all day long;

they join forces and encircle me. ² 

Psalms 141:10

141:10 Let the wicked fall ³  into their ⁴  own nets,

while I escape. ⁵ 

[33:15]  ¹ tn Heb “the one who forms together their heart[s].” “Heart” here refers to human nature, composed of intellect, emotions and will. The precise force of יָחַד (yakhad, “together”) is unclear here. The point seems to be that the Lord is the creator of every human being.

[88:17]  ² tn Heb “they encircle me together.”

[141:10]  ³ tn The prefixed verbal form is understood as a jussive of prayer. Another option is to translate, “the wicked will fall.”

[141:10]  ⁴ tn Heb “his.”

[141:10]  ⁵ tn Heb “at the same [that] I, until I pass by.” Another option is to take יַחַד (yakhad) with the preceding line, “let the wicked fall together into their own nets.”
