Psalms 3:6
6I have slept, and I have been stupefied.But I awakened because the Lord has taken me up. ▼
▼3:6The verb ‘soporatus sum’ does not refer to normal sleep. It refers to being knocked unconscious or being put to sleep by something (extreme weariness, medication, etc.). It can also mean, more loosely, to be stupefied or dumbstruck. The reference to sleep in this verse is metaphorical, so ‘stupefied’ works better than ‘unconscious.’(Conte)
