How long will my enemy gloat over me? ³

all my bones are dislocated;

my heart ⁵  is like wax;

it melts away inside me.

[13:2]  ¹ tn Heb “How long will I put counsel in my being?”

[13:2]  ² tn Heb “[with] grief in my heart by day.”

[13:2]  ³ tn Heb “be exalted over me.” Perhaps one could translate, “How long will my enemy defeat me?”

[22:14]  ⁴ tn Heb “like water I am poured out.”

[22:14]  ⁵ sn The heart is viewed here as the seat of the psalmist’s strength and courage.

[35:25]  ⁶ tn Heb “in their heart[s].”

[35:25]  ⁷ tn Heb “Aha! Our desire!” The “desire” of the psalmist’s enemies is to triumph over him.
