Mazmur 120:7

120:7 I am committed to peace, ¹ 

but when I speak, they want to make war. ² 

Mazmur 140:2

140:2 who plan ways to harm me. ³ 

All day long they stir up conflict. ⁴ 

[120:7]  ¹ tn Heb “I, peace.”

[120:7]  ² tn Heb “they [are] for war.”

[140:2]  ³ tn Heb “they devise wicked [plans] in [their] mind.”

[140:2]  ⁴ tc Heb “they attack [for] war.” Some revocalize the verb (which is a Qal imperfect from גּוּר, gur, “to attack”) as יְגָרוּ (yÿgaru), a Piel imperfect from גָרָה (garah, “stir up strife”). This is followed in the present translation.
