Psalms 59:9 - Exposition

Because of his strength. There is no "because of" in the original, and the reading, " his strength" ( עזּוֹ ), is doubtful. Several manuscripts have " my strength" ( עזּי ), and this reading was followed in all the ancient versions. Most modern critics prefer it, and translate, O my strength, as in Psalms 59:17 . Will I wait upon thee; rather, I will wait upon thee. For my God is my Defence; or, my High Tower (Revised Version).
