Mazmur 102:11

102:11 My days are coming to an end, ¹ 

and I am withered like grass.

and devoured the crops of their fields. ²

[102:11]  ¹ tn Heb “my days [are] like an extended [or “lengthening”] shadow,” that is, like a late afternoon shadow made by the descending sun that will soon be swallowed up by complete darkness.

[105:35]  ² tn Heb “the fruit of their ground.”

[106:20]  ³ tn Heb “their glory.” According to an ancient Hebrew scribal tradition, the text originally read “his glory” or “my glory.” In Jer 2:11 the Lord states that his people (Israel) exchanged “their glory” (a reference to the Lord) for worthless idols.
