Psalms 35:3 — KJV
Stop the way. The Hebrew form translated by this phrase is segor. A change in vowel pointing to sagar gives us a noun that has been interpreted to mean the two-edged sword called in Greek sagaris. The reading of the KJV is supported by the LXX. The verse pictures God, in human language, as a warrior fighting at the side of the psalmist.
Soul. Or, “me” (see on Ps. 16:10).
