The yiqtol beginning the present verse (as … The yiqtol beginning the present verse (as well as vv. 26, 47, 49, 50) are probably best considered archaic preterite functions of the yiqtol (see Notarius 2013; cf. Ḥakham 1979, 53: לשׁון עתיד שׁמשׁמעו לשׁעבר ""in language of the future whose meaning is in the past""). Notarius notes, ""a coherent, non-contradictory, archaic system is not proof of a genuine archaic text. Theoretically, a later writer could stylize the archaic linguistic type without any slips"" (2013, 274), such that the present text may intentionally transport the reader to what the author consider language of the period of the Exodus/Wilderness wanderings. </br>Notice their clause-initial position (cf. Notarius 2013, 280-281) and consistent asyndesis in a psalm full of waw-coordination. Their functional overlap with wayyiqtol is suggested by the scribal tendency to provide the wayyiqtol וַיָּהֲרֹג for the MT's יַהֲרֹג in v. 47 (see below). One could postulate that the functional distinction to be drawn between these yiqtol forms and the wayyiqtol is analogous to the same aspectual effect brought about by the historical present in English (Khan, Long Yiqṭol, 35), though a preterite reading has been preferred here.
