‏ Psalms 54:3


3 For foreigners
tc Many medieval Hebrew mss read זֵדִים (zedim, “proud ones”) rather than זָרִים (zarim, “foreigners”). This is a case of confusing ד (dalet) and ר (resh). The term זֵדִים (zedim) occurs in parallelism with עָרִיצִים (ʿaritsim, “violent ones”) in Ps 86:14 and Isa 13:11. However, זָרִים (zarim) is parallel to עָרִיצִים in Isa 25:5; 29:5; Ezek 28:7; 31:12.
attack me;
tn Heb “rise against me.”

ruthless men, who do not respect God, seek my life.
tn Heb “and ruthless ones seek my life, they do not set God in front of them.”
(Selah)
