Mazmur 22:17

22:17 I can count ¹  all my bones;

my enemies ²  are gloating over me in triumph. ³ 

[22:17]  ¹ tn The imperfect verbal forms in vv. 17-18 draw attention to the progressive nature of the action.

[22:17]  ² tn Heb “they.” The masculine form indicates the enemies are in view. The referent (the psalmist’s enemies) has been specified in the translation for clarity.

[22:17]  ³ tn Heb “they gaze, they look upon me.”
