Psalms 57:9

Verse 9. Wax. Hebrew shabbelul, occurs no where else, and this signification is surely preferable to that of the Rabbins, “a snail.” Prot. Bible.—Fire. Hebrew “like the untimely birth of a woman, which has not seen the sun.” Houbig. after S. Jerom.—Septuagint may not have read th at the end of esh, “fire.” But both version imply, that the wicked shall perish, without resource (Bert.) or struggle. This in enforced by a multiplicity of examples. Bible.
