Psalm 46/Notes/Textual.v. 10.556997
From Psalms: Layer by Layer
In v. 10, the final item destroyed by God is עֲגָלוֹת ("carts or transport wagons"). The majority of scholars follow the LXX (θυρεοὺς/"shields"; cf. Targ, Vulg;[1]; cf. NJB, NAB, NEB, FRCL, NIV, GECL) and suggest re-vocalizing the form as עֲגִלוֹת. Others understand it, uniquely, as "chariots" [cf. RSV, TOB, NJV, SPCL]). Here, the MT's עגלות, i.e., "carts" or "transport wagons" is preferred, on which see The Meaning of עגלות in Psalm46:10.
