61:3 Indeed, 1 you are 2 my shelter,
a strong tower that protects me from the enemy. 3
102:23 He has taken away my strength in the middle of life; 4
he has cut short my days.
[61:3] 1 tn Or “for.”
[61:3] 2 tn Or “have been.”
[61:3] 3 tn Heb “a strong tower from the face of an enemy.”
[102:23] 4 tn Heb “he has afflicted my strength in the way.” The term “way” refers here to the course of the psalmist’s life, which appears to be ending prematurely (vv. 23b-24).
