Psalms 69:17

69:17 Do not ignore ¹  your servant,

for I am in trouble! Answer me right away! ² 

[69:17]  ¹ tn Heb “do not hide your face from.” The Hebrew idiom “hide the face” can (1) mean “ignore” (see Pss 10:11; 13:1; 51:9) or (2) carry the stronger idea of “reject” (see Pss 30:7; 88:14).

[69:17]  ² tn Or “quickly.”
