Psalms 73:14

73:14 I suffer all day long,

and am punished every morning.”

Psalms 149:7

149:7 in order to take ¹  revenge on the nations,

and punish foreigners.

Psalms 38:14

38:14 I am like a man who cannot hear

and is incapable of arguing his defense. ² 

Psalms 39:11

39:11 You severely discipline people for their sins; ³ 

like a moth you slowly devour their strength. ⁴ 

Surely all people are a mere vapor. (Selah)

[149:7]  ¹ tn Heb “to do.”

[38:14]  ¹ tn Heb “and there is not in his mouth arguments.”

[39:11]  ¹ tn “with punishments on account of sin you discipline a man.”

[39:11]  ² tc Heb “you cause to dissolve, like a moth, his desired [thing].” The translation assumes an emendation of חֲמוּדוֹ (khamudo, “his desirable [thing]”) to חֶמְדוֹ (khemdo, “his loveliness” [or “beauty”]), a reading that is supported by a few medieval Hebrew mss.
