102:22 when the nations gather together,
and the kingdoms pay tribute to the Lord. 1
102:23 He has taken away my strength in the middle of life; 2
he has cut short my days.
[102:22] 1 tn “and the kingdoms to serve the Lord.”
[102:23] 2 tn Heb “he has afflicted my strength in the way.” The term “way” refers here to the course of the psalmist’s life, which appears to be ending prematurely (vv. 23b-24).
