‏ Psalms 55:23

23 But you, O God, will bring them ^{▼▼tn The pronominal suffix refers to the psalmist’s enemies (see v. 19).} down to the deep Pit. ^{▼▼tn Heb “well of the pit.” The Hebrew term שַׁחַת (shakhat, “pit”) is often used as a title for Sheol (see Pss 16:10; 30:9; 49:9; 103:4).}
Violent and deceitful people ^{▼▼tn Heb “men of bloodshed and deceit.”} will not live even half a normal life-span. ^{▼▼tn Heb “will not divide in half their days.”}
But as for me, I trust in you.
