Mazmur 119:25

ד (Dalet)

119:25 I collapse in the dirt. ¹ 

Revive me with your word! ² 

Mazmur 119:93

119:93 I will never forget your precepts,

for by them you have revived me.

[119:25]  ¹ tn Heb “my soul clings to the dirt.” The Hebrew term נֶפֶשׁ (nefesh, “being; soul”) with a pronominal suffix is often equivalent to a pronoun, especially in poetry (see BDB 660 s.v. נֶפֶשׁ 4.a).

[119:25]  ² tn Heb “according to your word.” Many medieval Hebrew mss read the plural “your words.”
