Psalm 18:45

tn Heb “wither, wear out.”

tn The meaning of חָרַג (kharag, “shake”) is established on the basis of cognates in Arabic and Aramaic. 2 Sam 22:46 reads חָגַר (khagar), which might mean here, “[they] come limping” (on the basis of a cognate in postbiblical Hebrew). The normal meaning for חָגַר (“gird”) makes little sense here.

tn Heb “from.”

tn Heb “their prisons.” The besieged cities of the foreigners are compared to prisons.
