Psalms 7:4
_ _ If I have injured my friend.
_ _ yea, I have delivered, etc. — This makes a good sense, but interrupts the course of thought, and hence it is proposed to render, “if I have spoiled my enemy” — in either case (compare 1 Samuel 24:4-17; 1 Samuel 31:8, 1 Samuel 31:11). |
Psalms 7:4
Deliver — When it was in my power to destroy him, as 1 Samuel 24:2-6. |
Psalms 7:4
(c) If I have rewarded evil unto him that was at peace with me; (yea, I have delivered him that without cause is mine enemy:)
