Mazmur 35:12

35:12 They repay me evil for the good I have done; ¹ 

I am overwhelmed with sorrow. ² 

Mazmur 119:103

119:103 Your words are sweeter

in my mouth than honey! ³ 

[35:12]  ¹ tn Heb “they repay me evil instead of good.”

[35:12]  ² tn Heb “[there is] bereavement to my soul.”

[119:103]  ³ tn Heb “How smooth they are to my palate, your word, more than honey to my mouth.” A few medieval Hebrew mss, as well as several other ancient witnesses, read the plural “your words,” which can then be understood as the subject of the plural verb “they are smooth.”
