Rashi, on Ps 17:48

Rashi · 1040–1105
Ps 17:48 · Douay-Rheims
“O God, who avengest me, and subduest the people under me, my deliverer from my enemies.”
On this verse:
“Who grants me vengeance Who gives me strength to avenge myself upon my enemies. and destroys Heb. וידבר, and He slew, an expression of דבר, pestilence. Another explanation: as (in Exod. 3:1): “and he led (וינהג),” which is translated into Aramaic as וּדְבַר. Menachem (p. 61) too associated it in this manner. Likewise, he associated (below 47:4), “He leads (יַדְבֵּר) peoples under us.” instead of me Heb. תחתי, in my place and in my stead, as the matter is stated (in Isa. 43:4): “and I give men in your stead (תחתיך), (verse 3), “I have given Egypt as your ransom. [Cush and Seba in your stead (תחתיך)].””
