Psalms 35:17

17 O Lord, how long are you going to just stand there and watch this? ^{▼▼ Heb “O Lord, how long will you see?”}
Rescue ^{▼▼ Heb “bring back, restore.”} me ^{▼▼ Or “my life.”} from their destructive attacks;
guard my life ^{▼▼ Heb “my only one.” The psalmist may mean that his life is precious, or that he feels isolated and alone (see Ps 22:20). The verb “guard” is supplied in the translation, because the verb “rescue” is understood by ellipsis (see the previous line).} from the young lions!
