Psalms 55:6

55:6 I say, ¹  “I wish I had wings like a dove!

I would fly away and settle in a safe place!

Psalms 68:13

68:13 When ²  you lie down among the sheepfolds, ³ 

the wings of the dove are covered with silver

and with glittering gold. ⁴ 

[55:6]  ¹ tn The prefixed verbal form with vav (ו) consecutive carries on the descriptive (present progressive) force of the verbs in v. 5.

[68:13]  ² tn Or “if.”

[68:13]  ³ tn The meaning of the Hebrew word translated “sheepfolds” is uncertain. There may be an echo of Judg 5:16 here.

[68:13]  ⁴ tn Heb “and her pinions with the yellow of gold.”
