BrLXX τὴν ζωήν μου ἐξήγγειλά σοι, ἔθου τὰ δάκρυά μου ἐνώπιόν σου, ὡς καὶ ἐν τῇ ἐπαγγελίᾳ σου.
(taʸn zōaʸn mou exaʸngeila soi, ethou ta dakrua mou enōpion sou, hōs kai en taʸ epangelia sou. )
Ps 55 The psalmist is faced with adversaries whose leader is a former friend (55:12-14), and he is overwhelmed with anguish. He turns to the Lord in prayer and commits himself to the Lord for redress (55:22-23). Jesus experienced similar suffering when his friend (Judas) betrayed him. He also experienced the answer to the psalmist’s prayer: (1) by taking the place of the wicked and receiving their judgment (Isa 53:7-9), and (2) by committing himself to the Father, who rescued (Luke 23:46) and rewarded him (Isa 53:10-12).
Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor
Devour them
(Some words not found in UHB: hurry shelter to=me from,wind raging from,storm )
Destroying something is spoken of as eating all of it. Possible meanings are “Destroy my enemies’ plans” or “Destroy my enemies.”
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / metonymy
confuse their language
(Some words not found in UHB: hurry shelter to=me from,wind raging from,storm )
“Language” here represents what the people were saying to each other, and probably refers specifically to them talking about plans to do evil. Confusing it represents making the people unable to understand each other. Alternate translation: “confuse them when they speak to each other” or “confuse their plans”
