Mazmur 141:8

141:8 Surely I am looking to you, ¹  O sovereign Lord.

In you I take shelter.

Do not expose me to danger! ² 

[141:8]  ¹ tn Heb “my eyes [are] toward you.”

[141:8]  ² tn Heb “do not lay bare my life.” Only here is the Piel form of the verb collocated with the term נֶפֶשׁ (nefesh, “life”). In Isa 53:12 the Lord’s servant “lays bare (the Hiphil form of the verb is used) his life to death.”
