Footnotes

  1. 12 Heb “let destruction [which] he does not know come to him.” The singular is used of the enemy in v. 8, probably in a representative or collective sense. The psalmist has more than one enemy, as vv. 1–7 make clear.
  2. 13 The psalmist’s prayer for his enemies’ demise continues. See vv. 4–6.
