Psalms 139:9

139:9 If I were to fly away ⁴  on the wings of the dawn, ⁵

[37:27]  ¹ tn Or “Do good!” The imperatives are singular (see v. 1).

[37:27]  ² tn Heb “and dwell permanently.” The imperative with vav (ו) is best taken here as a result clause after the preceding imperatives.

[78:60]  ³ tn Or “rejected.”

[139:9]  ⁵ tn Heb “rise up.”

[139:9]  ⁶ sn On the wings of the dawn. This personification of the “dawn” may find its roots in mythological traditions about the god Shachar, whose birth is described in an Ugaritic myth (see G. R. Driver, Canaanite Myths and Legends, 126) and who is mentioned in Isa 14:12 as the father of Helel.

[139:9]  ⁷ tn Heb “at the end.”
