Do not allow their14 plan to succeed when they attack!15
(Selah)
Footnotes
- 13 Heb “do not grant the desires of the wicked.”
- 14 Heb “his.” The singular is used in a representative sense (see v. 1).
- 15 Heb “his plot do not promote, they rise up.” The translation understands the final verb as being an unmarked temporal clause. Another option is to revocalize the verb as a Hiphil and take the verb with the next verse, “those who surround me lift up [their] head,” which could refer to their proud attitude as they anticipate victory (see Ps 27:6).
