Psalms 59:3

3 For look, they wait to ambush me; ^{▼▼ Heb “my life.”}
powerful men stalk ^{▼▼ The Hebrew verb is from the root גּוּר (gur), which means “to challenge, attack” in Isa 54:15 and “to stalk” (with hostile intent) in Ps 56:8.} me,
but not because I have rebelled or sinned, O Lord. ^{▼▼ The point is that the psalmist’s enemies have no justifiable reason for attacking him. He has neither rebelled or sinned against the Lord.}
