''Waw'' appears 22 times in the MT of this … ''Waw'' appears 22 times in the MT of this psalm. This is a large number compared with other nearby psalms of similar length: Ps. 5 (7x); Ps. 9 (9x); Ps 10 (11x); Ps. 17 (x3). ''Waw'' functions consistently in this psalm to mark continuity, grouping lines into bicola (vv.5, 8, 9bc[?], 12, 15, 16, 17, 18), tricola (vv.6, 7), and tetracola (v.10), and grouping units into sections (vv.7-8; 13-14). The absence of ''waw'' (vv.4ab, 7ab, 9ab, 10d-12a) indicates discontinuity and cooccurs with section divisions.</br></br><u>Coordinating Words/Phrases within a Line</u></br>*v.9c([[#Line divisions|?]]): כְּצִדְקִ֖י וּכְתֻמִּ֣י</br>*v.10c: לִ֭בּ֗וֹת וּכְלָי֗וֹת</br></br><u>Coordinating Clauses within a Line</u></br>*v.2b: הוֹשִׁיעֵ֥נִי...וְהַצִּילֵֽנִי</br>*v.3b: פֹּ֝רֵ֗ק וְאֵ֣ין מַצִּֽיל</br>**וְאֵין + participle often indicates "subordinate circumstantial or descriptive clauses."'"`UNIQ--ref-00000E55-QINU`"'</br>*v.6a: יִֽרַדֹּ֥ף...וְיַשֵּׂ֗ג</br>*v.13b: דָ֝רַ֗ךְ וַֽיְכוֹנְנֶֽהָ</br>*v.15b: וְהָרָ֥ה...וְיָ֣לַד </br>*v.16a: כָּ֭רָֽה וַֽיַּחְפְּרֵ֑הוּ</br></br><u>Coordinating Lines</u></br>*v.5a --(''wayyiqtol'' verb [וָאֲחַלְּצָ֖ה)--> v.5b</br>*v.6a --(''weyiqtol'' verb [וְיִרְמֹ֣ס])--> v.6b</br>*v.6b --(''waw'' + noun [וּכְבוֹדִ֓י])--> v.6c</br>*v.7b --(''waw'' + impv [וְע֥וּרָה])--> v.7c</br>**This ''waw'' suggests that v.7c is to be grouped with v.7ab to form a tricolon.</br>*v.8a --(''waw'' + prepositional phrase [וְ֝עָלֶ֗יהָ])--> v.8b</br>*v.9b([[#Line divisions|?]]): --(''waw'' + noun phrase [וּכְתֻמִּ֣י])--> v.9c([[#Line divisions|?]])</br>*v.10a --(''weyiqtol'' verb [וּתְכוֹנֵ֪ן])--> v.10b</br>*v.10b --(''waw'' + participle [וּבֹחֵ֣ן])--> v.10c</br>**This ''waw'' is omitted in some manuscripts and versions (see below on [[#Variants|Variants]]). Its presence may suggest that v.10cd be grouped with v.10ab to form a tetracolon. The semantic value of ''waw'' here is ambiguous. Citing this verse as a possible example, ''GKC'' notes that clauses beginning with ''waw'' may sometimes give the reason for a preceding proposition (cf. Ps. 60:13; 108:13).'"`UNIQ--ref-00000E56-QINU`"'</br>*v.12a --(''waw'' + noun [וְ֝אֵ֗ל])--> v.12b</br>*v.15a --(''weqatal'' verb [וְהָרָ֥ה)--> v.15b</br>*v.16a --(''wayyiqtol'' verb [וַ֝יִּפֹּ֗ל)--> v.16b</br>*v.17a --(''waw'' + prepositional phrase [וְעַ֥ל קָ֝דְקֳד֗וֹ])--> v.17b</br>*v.18a --(''waw'' + cohortative [וַ֝אֲזַמְּרָ֗ה])--> v.18b</br></br><u>Coordinating Units within a Section</u></br>*v.7 --(''waw'' + noun phrase [וַעֲדַ֣ת לְ֭אֻמִּים)--> v.8</br>*v.13 --(''waw'' + prepositional phrase [וְ֭לוֹ)--> v.14ion</u>
