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)
