Psa 21:11 | NETfull | STEP | Yes, they intend to do you harm; they dream up a scheme, but they do not succeed.

Psalms 21:11

11 Yes, ^{▼▼ Or “for.”} they intend to do you harm; ^{▼▼ Heb “they extend against you harm.” The perfect verbal forms in v. 11 are taken as generalizing, stating factually what the king’s enemies typically do. Another option is to translate with the past tense (“they intended…planned”).}
they dream up a scheme, ^{▼▼ See Ps 10:2.} but they do not succeed. ^{▼▼ Heb “they lack ability.”}
