Mazmur 119:28

119:28 I collapse ¹  from grief.

Sustain me by your word! ² 

Markus 14:34

14:34 He said to them, “My soul is deeply grieved, even to the point of death. Remain here and stay alert.”

Roma 9:2

9:2 I have great sorrow and unceasing anguish in my heart. ³ 

[119:28]  ¹ tn Some translate “my soul weeps,” taking the verb דָלַף (dalaf) from a root meaning “to drip; to drop” (BDB 196 s.v. דֶּלַף). On the basis of cognate evidence from Arabic and Akkadian, HALOT 223 s.v. II דלף proposes a homonymic root here, meaning “be sleepless.” Following L. C. Allen (Psalms 101-150 [WBC], 127, 135) the translation assumes that the verb is cognate with Ugaritic dlp, “to collapse; to crumple” in CTA 2 iv. 17, 26. See G. R. Driver, Canaanite Myths and Legends, 44, 144.

[119:28]  ² tn Heb “according to your word.” Many medieval Hebrew mss read the plural “your words.”

[9:2]  ³ tn Grk “my sorrow is great and the anguish in my heart is unceasing.”
