71:10 For my enemies talk about me;
those waiting for a chance to kill me plot my demise. 1
71:11 They say, 2 “God has abandoned him.
Run and seize him, for there is no one who will rescue him!”
71:12 O God, do not remain far away from me!
My God, hurry and help me! 3
71:13 May my accusers be humiliated and defeated!
May those who want to harm me 4 be covered with scorn and disgrace!
1 tn Heb “those who watch for my life consult together.”
