(of God\u2026)\r\n\r\n","content":"<p>36:2 \u201cCrime\u2019s utterance to the wicked within his heart: \u2018There is no fear of God before my eyes.\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The beginning of this psalm adopts an anomalous rhetorical device. \u201cCrime,\u201d as a personified figure, is presented speaking its pernicious speech within the heart of the wicked person. The Masoretic Text reads \u201cmy heart,\u201d which has made interpreters strain to imagine a quasi- prophetic speaker who claims to know what Crime says inwardly to the wicked. More plausibly, a couple of ancient versions read \u201chis heart.\u201d In any case, this odd beginning also makes the genre of the psalm difficult to identify. It is not a supplication, but it puts into play the supplication\u2019s characteristic contrast between the upright and the evil and also its confidence in God\u2019s overarching justice. The translation emends \u201chis eyes\u201d at the end of this verse to \u201cmy eyes.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>From: Robert Alter, <em>The Hebrew Bible<\/em>, vol. 3: Writings, W. W.
