Mazmur 66:12

66:12 You allowed men to ride over our heads;

we passed through fire and water,

but you brought us out into a wide open place. ¹ 

Mazmur 68:2

68:2 As smoke is driven away by the wind, so you drive them away. ² 

As wax melts before fire,

so the wicked are destroyed before God.

[66:12]  ¹ tc The MT reads רְוָיָה (“saturation”) but this should be emended to רְוָחָה (rÿvakhah, “wide open place”; i.e., “relief”), a reading supported by several ancient versions (LXX, Syriac, Jerome, Targum).

[68:2]  ² tn Heb “as smoke is scattered, you scatter [them].”
