Psalms 109:8
8 May his days be few. ▼▼tn 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. ▼▼tn The Hebrew noun
פְּקֻדָּה (
pequddah) can mean “charge” or “office,” though BDB 824 s.v. suggests that here it refers to his possessions.
