With the Hebrew beneath
Psalms 35:22, word by word
- You have seen itרָאִיתָהraita
see
To see with one's eyes.
Where else “raita” appears- YHWHיְהוָהyehva
YHWH
The personal name of the God of Israel, written in Hebrew with four letters, Y-H-W-H, without vowels. Out of reverence Jews stopped pronouncing it and read "Adonai" (Lord), so many Bibles put "the LORD" or "Jehovah". This translation keeps the four letters. The name is related to the verb "to be" (Exodus 3:14-15). He is not a god other than Elohim: "YHWH Elohim" is the same Creator God, called by his name.
Where else “yehva” appears- be deafתֶּחֱרַשׁtecherash
be silent
To stay quiet, without answering or speaking.
Where else “techerash” appears- Adonaiאֲדֹנָadona
Adonai, Lord
"Adonai": "my Lord", said only to God. It is a title of respect that acknowledges his authority. It is not another god besides YHWH: often it goes with his name, "Adonai YHWH", Lord YHWH.
Where else “adona” appears- be farתִּרְחַקtirchak
be far
To be distant: "do not stay away from me".
Where else “tirchak” appears
The context
21And they opened wide against me their mouth; they said, “Aha! Aha! Our eye has seen it.”
