SCRIPTURE

"For, lo, they lie in wait for my soul; The mighty gather themselves together against me: Not for my transgression, nor for my sin, O Jehovah." — Psalms 59:3 (ASV)

For, lo, they lie in wait ... —Better, for look, they have laid an ambush.

Mighty. —Perhaps with the idea of insolence in their strength.

Not for my transgression ... —Better, Without transgression or fault of mine, as in next verse.
