Psalms 78:50

78:50 He sent his anger in full force; ¹ 

he did not spare them from death;

he handed their lives over to destruction. ² 

Psalms 141:4

141:4 Do not let me have evil desires, ³ 

or participate in sinful activities

with men who behave wickedly. ⁴ 

I will not eat their delicacies. ⁵ 

[78:50]  ¹ tn Heb “he leveled a path for his anger.” There were no obstacles to impede its progress; it moved swiftly and destructively.

[78:50]  ² tn Or perhaps “[the] plague.”

[141:4]  ³ tn Heb “do not turn my heart toward an evil thing.”

[141:4]  ⁴ tn Heb “to act sinfully in practices in wickedness with men, doers of evil.”

[141:4]  ⁵ sn Their delicacies. This probably refers to the enjoyment that a sinful lifestyle appears to offer.
