56:1Have mercy on me, O God, for men are attacking me!1
Footnotes
- 1 According to 983 II שָׁאַף, the verb is derived from שָׁאַף (sha’af, “to trample, crush”) rather than the homonymic verb “pant after.”
- 2 Heb “a fighter.” The singular is collective for his enemies (see vv. 5–6). The Qal of לָחַם (lakham, “fight”) also occurs in Ps 35:1.
- 3 The imperfect verbal form draws attention to the continuing nature of the enemies’ attacks.
