Mazmur 119:95

119:95 The wicked prepare to kill me, ⁴ 

yet I concentrate on your rules.

[78:34]  ¹ tn Or “killed them,” that is, killed large numbers of them.

[78:34]  ² tn Heb “they sought him.”

[78:51]  ³ tn Heb “the beginning of strength.” If retained, the plural form אוֹנִים (’onim, “strength”) probably indicates degree (“great strength”), but many ancient witnesses read “their strength,” which presupposes an emendation to אֹנָם (’onam; singular form of the noun with third masculine plural pronominal suffix).

[119:95]  ⁴ tn Heb “the wicked wait for me to kill me.”
