Psalm 17:9
Douay-Rheims
From the face of the wicked who have afflicted me. My enemies have surrounded my soul:
Radak
From the wicked that spoil me: – Keep me from the enemies who spoil me. The word זוּ is in meaning the same as אשר; and so (we find): “He against whom (זוּ) we have sinned” (Isaiah 42:24). My soul's enemies that compass me about: – Keep me from my enemies who encompass and surround me against my soul, meaning, “to take my life.”
