Psalms 7:15
digs ............ made <03738 06466> [made. Heb. hath digged.]
falls <05307> [and is.]
Psalms 94:13
<08252> [mayest.]
destroyed <07845> [until the pit.]
Psalms 119:85
arrogant <02086> [The proud.]
This metaphor is taken from the mode in which wild beasts are caught in the East: deep pits are dug in the earth, and slightly covered over with reeds, turf, etc., so as not to be discerned from the solid ground; and the animals attempting to walk over them, the surface breaks, they fall in, and are taken alive. Thus the Psalmist's enemies employed craft as well as power in order to effect his ruin.
law <08451> [which.]
Psalms 22:16
dogs <03611> [dogs.]
surround <05437> [compassed.]
gang <05712> [assembly.]
pin <03738> [they pierced.]
The textual reading is {ka„ri,} "as a lion my hands and feet;" but several MSS., read {kƒroo,} and others {karoo} in the margin, which affords the reading adopted by our translators. So the LXX. [oryxan cheiras mou kai podas,] so also the Vulgate, Syriac, Arabic, and Ethiopic; and as all the Evangelists so quote the passage, and apply it to the crucifixion of Christ, there seems scarcely the shadow of a doubt that this is the genuine reading; especially when it is considered, that the other contains no sense at all. The whole difference lies between [vƒv] {wav} and [y“wd,] {yood,} which might easily be mistaken for each other.
Psalms 40:6
sacrifices <02077> [Sacrifice.]
