The Key Word זַֽעַמְךָ֥, za.'am.Khagenerated

The word זַ֫עַם (za`am) refers to intense anger or indignation, particularly in the context of God's displeasure. It conveys a strong emotional response, often associated with divine judgment against sin. The parsing indicates it is a noun in the singular form, showing that it represents a specific instance of anger directed towards the psalmist.

This word is significant in the verse as it highlights the reason for the psalmist's distress. God's indignation is not just a passing emotion; it is a powerful force that the psalmist feels has led to his current state of being cast aside.


How Translations Differ — measured against the Berean Standard Biblegenerated

This study reads the verse in the Berean Standard Bible, which uses indignation for זַ֫עַם and wrath for קֶ֫צֶף.


Sentence Structuregenerated

The main verb in the verse is נְ֝שָׂאתַ֗, you have picked up, which governs the clause. The structure includes a prepositional phrase indicating the reason for the psalmist's state and a conjunction linking the two actions of being lifted and cast aside.

The arrangement of the Hebrew emphasizes the cause-and-effect relationship between God's anger and the psalmist's feelings of abandonment, with the verbs clearly marking the actions taken by God.


Septuagint Backgroundgenerated

The Septuagint translates זַ֫עַם as ἄρτον (bread), which introduces a different nuance, possibly suggesting sustenance in the midst of anger. This choice may reflect an interpretative approach to the emotional state described in the Hebrew text.

The use of שָׁלַךְ as ἐκίρνων for 'to throw' indicates a direct action, aligning closely with the Hebrew meaning while also emphasizing the act of being cast aside.

10. This suffering is the punishment of sin. The storm of God’s wrath has swept Israel away from its own land, and flung it down helpless in the land of exile. Thou hast lifted me up, and cast me down (A.V.) has been taken to mean that the bitterness of Israel’s present humiliation is intensified by the recollection of its past exaltation (cp. Lamentations 2:1), but it suits the context better to render For thou hast taken me up and flung me away, a metaphor from a hurricane. Cp. Job 27:21; Job 30:22; Isaiah 64:6.

The four witnesses to this verse — Masoretic, Septuagint, Samaritan, Qumran

The Masoretic Text (MT) of Psalms 102:10 reads, "מִפְּנֵֽי־ זַֽעַמְךָ֥ וְקִצְפֶּ֑ךָ כִּ֥י נְ֝שָׂאתַ֗נִי וַתַּשְׁלִיכֵֽנִי׃" which translates to, "because of Your indignation and wrath, for You have picked me up and cast me aside." The Septuagint (LXX) aligns closely with the MT, matching all six words, although it presents them in a different order and structure. However, the Dead Sea Scrolls (4Q84) diverge significantly from both the MT and LXX, containing a different phrase that translates to, "for I have eaten ashes like bread and mingled my drink with weeping." This indicates a notable variation in the text, suggesting a different context or emphasis in the interpretation of the psalmist's lament.

ov:

(1) In Anglo-Saxon, had the meaning "from," "away from" (as the strengthened form "off" has still), and was not used for genitive or possessive relations, these being expressed by special case-forms. In the Norman period, however, "of" was taken to represent the French de (a use well developed by the time of Chaucer), and in the Elizabethan period both senses of "of" were in common use. But after about 1600 the later force of the word became predominant, and in the earlier sense (which is now practically obsolete) it was replaced by other prepositions. In consequence the King James Version (and in some cases the Revised Version (British and American)) contains many uses of "of" that are no longer familiar--most of them, to be sure, causing no difficulty, but there still being a few responsible for real obscurities.
