The question is whether the first two clauses of v. 8 are to be considered as two cola or as a single colon. If parallelism (semantic and syntactic) is "the principal guide,"'"`UNIQ--ref-00000AED-QINU`"' then the former option is to be preferred. The length of the lines, in this case, is admittedly short – 8a would be the shortest in the psalm – yet not much shorter, in terms of syllables, than the lines in v. 9. The short length of v. 8a (4 syllables) falls within the range proposed by Fokkelman'"`UNIQ--ref-00000AEE-QINU`"' and may be explained as an indication of discontinuity (peak/climax?) in the text. Perhaps the ''paseq'' after יהוה supports the decision to see a division at this point? If the text is divided at this point, then the four lines should probably distributed into two bicola, though a tetracolon may also be a possibility.bicola, though a tetracolon may also be a possibility. +
