Psalm 013 General Notes

Special concepts in this chapter

Yahweh's help

The author needs God to help him because his enemies will rejoice if they are able to defeat him. The string of rhetorical questions is very effective at heightening the fear David is feeling. (See: rc://en/ta/man/jit/figs-rquestion and rc://en/tw/dict/bible/kt/fear)
