22:18 He rescued me from my strong enemy, 1
from those who hate me,
for they were too strong for me.
22:20 He brought me out into a wide open place;
he delivered me because he was pleased with me. 2
[22:18] 1 tn The singular refers either to personified death or collectively to the psalmist’s enemies. The following line, which refers to “those [plural] who hate me,” favors the latter.
[22:20] 2 tn Or “delighted in me” (so KJV, NASB, NIV, NRSV).
