Psalm 9:21
Douay-Rheims
Appoint, O Lord, a lawgiver over them: that the Gentiles may know themselves to be but men.
Radak
Put them in fear, O Lord: שׁיתה (put) with the accent milra. מורה (fear) is written with he for aleph. He asks that (God) would bring it about that they may fear Him. Let the nations know themselves to be but mortal. Selah: – Let them know that they are mortal (men, אנושׁים) and have not strength as against God, for the sense of אנושׁ is derived from that (of אָנוּשׁ in the passage) (Jer. 30:12): “it is ill (אנושׁ) with thy bruise.”
