remove the obstacles in the way in which you are guiding me!24
Footnotes
- 22 God’s providential leading is in view. His צְדָקָה (tsédaqah, “righteousness”) includes here the deliverance that originates in his righteousness; he protects and vindicates the one whose cause is just. For other examples of this use of the word, see 842
- 23 Heb “because of those who watch me [with evil intent].” See also Pss 27:11; 56:2.
- 24 Heb “make level before me your way.” The imperative “make level” is Hiphil in the Kethib (consonantal text); Piel in the Qere (marginal reading). God’s “way” is here the way in which he leads the psalmist providentially (see the preceding line, where the psalmist asks the Lord to lead him).
