Mazmur 35:11

35:11 Violent men perjure themselves, ¹ 

and falsely accuse me. ² 

Mazmur 77:6

77:6 I said, “During the night I will remember the song I once sang;

I will think very carefully.”

I tried to make sense of what was happening. ³ 

Mazmur 119:155

119:155 The wicked have no chance for deliverance, ⁴ 

for they do not seek your statutes.

[35:11]  ¹ tn Heb “witnesses of violence rise up.”

[35:11]  ² tn Heb “[that] which I do not know they ask me.”

[77:6]  ³ tn Heb “I will remember my song in the night, with my heart I will reflect. And my spirit searched.” As in v. 4, the words of v. 6a are understood as what the psalmist said earlier. Consequently the words “I said” are supplied in the translation for clarification (see v. 10). The prefixed verbal form with vav (ו) consecutive at the beginning of the final line is taken as sequential to the perfect “I thought” in v. 6.

[119:155]  ⁴ tn Heb “far from the wicked [is] deliverance.”
