Psalm 32/Notes/Textual.v. 4.369540
From Psalms: Layer by Layer
v. 4 – For the alternative emendation "when a thorn pierced me," see the LXX, which has read קוֹץ "thorn" for the MT's קַיִץ and, judging by the consonantal text, understood חר׳׳ב as a verb relating to a sword (though ἐμπήγνυμι most typically translates טבע—see Pss 9:16; 68:3, 15; Lam 2:9), such as found in Jer 50:21, 27.
