Psalms 109:8
8 May his days be few! ▼▼ The prefixed verbal forms (except those with
vav [ו] consecutive) in vv.
8–20 are taken as jussives of prayer. Note the distinct jussive forms used in vv.
12–13,
15,
19.
May another take his job! ▼▼ The Hebrew noun פְּקֻדָּה (
pequddah) can mean “charge” or “office,” though BDB 824 s.v. suggests that here it refers to his possessions.
