Mazmur 74:10

74:10 How long, O God, will the adversary hurl insults?

Will the enemy blaspheme your name forever?

Mazmur 90:13

90:13 Turn back toward us, O Lord!

How long must this suffering last? ¹ 

Have pity on your servants! ² 

Mazmur 94:3

94:3 O Lord, how long will the wicked,

how long will the wicked celebrate? ³ 

[90:13]  ¹ tn Heb “Return, O Lord! How long?”

[90:13]  ² tn Elsewhere the Niphal of נָחַם (nakham) + the preposition עַל (’al) + a personal object has the nuance “be comforted concerning [the personal object’s death]” (see 2 Sam 13:39; Jer 31:15). However, here the context seems to demand “feel sorrow for,” “have pity on.” In Deut 32:36 and Ps 135:14, where “servants” is also the object of the preposition, this idea is expressed with the Hitpael form of the verb.

[94:3]  ³ tn Or “exult.”
