Commentary
Commentary on Psalms 9:20
Theological / DevotionalFear. Heb. morah, the consonants of which represent the word for “teacher.” The LXX and the Syriac follow this reading. Others regard morah a misspelling for mora’, “fear” (KJV, RSV); still others a misspelling for me’erah, a “curse,” which yields the translation “place a curse upon them.”
Men. Heb. ’enosh, the same word as in v. 19. The poem closes with emphasis on the idea of man’s frailty in the sight of the Judge of all the earth.
Selah. See p. 629.
