40:17I am oppressed and needy!38
May the Lord pay attention to me!39
You are my helper and my deliverer!
O my God, do not delay!
Footnotes
- 38 See Pss 35:10; 37:14.
- 39 The prefixed verbal form may be taken as a jussive of prayer (as in the present translation; cf. ) or as an imperfect, “The Lord will pay attention to me” (cf. ). The parallel in Ps 70:5 has, “O God, hurry to me!” For this reason some prefer to emend יַחֲשָׁב (yakhashav, “may he pay attention”) to חוּשָׁה (khushah, “hurry!”). The syntax of the Hebrew text is awkward; elsewhere when the Qal of חָשַׁב (khashav, “reckon; consider”) is collocated with the preposition -ל (lamed) and a pronominal suffix there is an accompanying direct object or additional prepositional phrase/adverbial accusative (see Gen 15:6; 2 Sam 19:19; Job 13:24; 19:11; 33:10; Pss 32:2; 41:7; Amos 6:5).
