Mazmur 25:3
Konteks25:3 Certainly none who rely on you will be humiliated.
Those who deal in treachery will be thwarted 1 and humiliated.
Mazmur 106:38
Konteks106:38 They shed innocent blood –
the blood of their sons and daughters,
whom they sacrificed to the idols of Canaan.
The land was polluted by bloodshed. 2
[25:3] 1 tn Heb “those who deal in treachery in vain.” The adverb רֵיקָם (reqam, “in vain”) probably refers to the failure (or futility) of their efforts. Another option is to understand it as meaning “without cause” (cf. NIV “without excuse”; NRSV “wantonly treacherous”).
[106:38] 2 sn Num 35:33-34 explains that bloodshed defiles a land.
