Psalm 37/Notes/Textual.v. 25.782006
From Psalms: Layer by Layer
Several witnesses read וגם instead of just גם, including the lemma of 4Q171 (נער היי]תי וגם זקנתי), 17 manuscripts in Kennicott, and probably also the parent text of the LXX: καὶ γὰρ ἐγήρασα (cf. Symmachus: ἀλλὰ καί). But there seems to be a tendency for these and other witnesses to add coordinating conjunctions in this psalm (cf. vv. 1, 31, 38, 40), probably to facilitate the reading of the text.
