They gather themselves together, they hide themselves, they mark my steps, when they wait for my soul.
They gather themselves together. So the Hebrew х guwr (H1481)] is rendered, Psalms 59:3; Isaiah 54:15. Compare Psalms 31:13.
They hide themselves - lying in wait for me. [The Masoretic text substitutes the Qal, yitspownuw (H6845), for the Hiphil, yitsapiynuw (H6845).]
When they wait for my soul - i:e., for my life. "Wait for" - literally, expect, hope for.
