Konteks20:2 May he send you help from his temple; 1
from Zion may he give you support!

Mazmur 139:7
Konteks139:7 Where can I go to escape your spirit?
Where can I flee to escape your presence? 4
[20:2] 1 tc Heb “from [the] temple.” The third masculine singular pronominal suffix (ן, nun) has probably been accidentally omitted by haplography. Note that the following word begins with a prefixed vav (ו). See P. C. Craigie, Psalms 1-50 (WBC), 184.
[102:19] 2 tn Heb “from the height of his sanctuary.”
[102:19] 3 tn The perfect verbal forms in v. 19 are functioning as future perfects, indicating future actions that will precede the future developments described in v. 18.
[139:7] 4 tn Heb “Where can I go from your spirit, and where from your face can I flee?” God’s “spirit” may refer here (1) to his presence (note the parallel term, “your face,” and see Ps 104:29-30, where God’s “face” is his presence and his “spirit” is the life-giving breath he imparts) or (2) to his personal Spirit (see Ps 51:10).
