143:9Rescue me from my enemies, O Lord!

I run to you for protection.22

Read in Logos

Footnotes

  1. 22 Heb “to you I cover,” which makes no sense. The translation assumes an emendation to נַסְתִּי (nastiy, “I flee,” a Qal perfect, first singular form from נוּס, nos). Confusion of kaf (ך) and nun (ן) is attested elsewhere (see P. K. McCarter, Textual Criticism [], 48). The collocation of נוּס (“flee”) with אֶל (’el, “to”) is well-attested.
