2 Samuel 22:49

22:49 He delivers me from my enemies; ⁶ 

you snatch me away ⁷  from those who attack me; ⁸ 

you rescue me from violent men.

[5:24]  ¹ tn Heb “camp” (so NAB).

[13:36]  ² tn Heb “and they lifted their voice and wept.”

[13:36]  ³ tn Heb “with a great weeping.”

[17:22]  ⁴ tn The word “River” is not in the Hebrew text here or in v. 24, but has been supplied in the translation for clarity.

[21:13]  ⁵ tn Heb “he”; the referent (David) has been specified in the translation for clarity.

[22:49]  ⁶ tn Heb “and [the one who] brings me out from my enemies.”

[22:49]  ⁷ tn Heb “you lift me up.” In light of the preceding and following references to deliverance, the verb רוּם (rum) probably here refers to being rescued from danger (see Ps 9:13). However, it could mean “exalt; elevate” here, indicating that the Lord has given him victory over his enemies and forced them to acknowledge the psalmist’s superiority.

[22:49]  ⁸ tn Heb “from those who rise against me.”
