p. " Yet have I set my king upon my holy hill of Zion." The Syriac, Arabic and Chaldee versions, as also those of Symmachiis, Aquila, and St. Jerome, agree with the Septuagint and Vulgate in the ren- dering of this passage : which Kohler approves. The same verb in Prov. viii. 23, is passively trans- lated. A few manuscripts also favor the reading, which the ancients represent. The precise force of the verb is stated by Olshausen to be undetermined. The moderns explain it as meaning "anointed."
