Psalms 37:32

37:32 Evil men set an ambush for the godly

and try to kill them. ¹ 

Psalms 37:36

37:36 But then one passes by, and suddenly they have disappeared! ² 

I looked for them, but they could not be found.

Psalms 104:21

104:21 The lions roar for prey,

seeking their food from God. ³ 

Psalms 105:4

105:4 Seek the Lord and the strength he gives!

Seek his presence continually!

[37:32]  ¹ tn Heb “an evil [one] watches the godly [one] and seeks to kill him.” The singular forms are used in a representative sense; the typical evildoer and godly individual are in view. The active participles describe characteristic behavior.

[37:36]  ² tn Heb “and he passes by and, look, he is not [there].” The subject of the verb “passes by” is probably indefinite, referring to any passerby. Some prefer to change the form to first person, “and I passed by” (cf. NEB; note the first person verbal forms in preceding verse and in the following line).

[104:21]  ³ sn The lions’ roaring is viewed as a request for food from God.
