Footnotes

  1. 4 The verb פָּצַם (patsam, “split open”) occurs only here in the OT. An Arabic cognate means “crack,” and an Aramaic cognate is used in with the meaning “break open, frame.” See 822 and 1205 פְּצַם. You made the earth quake; you split it open. The psalmist uses the imagery of an earthquake to describe the nation’s defeat.
  2. 5 It is ready to fall. The earth is compared to a wall that has been broken by the force of the earthquake (note the preceding line) and is ready to collapse.
