NETBible

Surely¹ you put them in slippery places; you bring them down² to ruin.

NET Notes

¹tn The use of the Hebrew term אַךְ (’akh, “surely”) here literarily counteracts its use in v. 13. The repetition draws attention to the contrast between the two statements, the first of which expresses the psalmist’s earlier despair and the second his newly discovered confidence.

²tn Heb “cause them to fall.”
