Psalm 37/Notes/Verbal.v. 13.881506
From Psalms: Layer by Layer
As a stative-transitive verb (like ידע or שׁמע), the qatal verb ראה can have a present meaning (cf. Gen 26:28; 33:10; etc.; so LXX: προβλέπει). Recognizing the morphology, however, we will diagram it as an action that took place in the past whose resultant state still obtains. This could be paraphrased: “he has come to see” (= “he sees”).
