Psalms 50:10

50:10 For every wild animal in the forest belongs to me,

as well as the cattle that graze on a thousand hills. ¹ 

Psalms 80:13

80:13 The wild boars of the forest ruin it; ² 

the insects ³  of the field feed on it.

Psalms 83:14

83:14 Like the fire that burns down the forest,

or the flames that consume the mountainsides, ⁴ 

[50:10]  ¹ tn Heb “[the] animals on a thousand hills.” The words “that graze” are supplied in the translation for clarification. The term בְּהֵמוֹה (bÿhemot, “animal”) refers here to cattle (see Ps 104:14).

[80:13]  ² tn The Hebrew verb כִּרְסֵם (kirsem, “to eat away; to ruin”) occurs only here in the OT.

[80:13]  ³ tn The precise referent of the Hebrew word translated “insects,” which occurs only here and in Ps 50:11, is uncertain. Aramaic, Arabic, and Akkadian cognates refer to insects, such as locusts or crickets.

[83:14]  ³ sn The imagery of fire and flames suggests unrelenting, destructive judgment.
