Psalms 25:18

Look upon mine affliction - See my distressed condition, and thy eye will affect thy heart.

Forgive all my sins - My sins are the cause of all my sufferings; forgive these.

This is the verse which should begin with the letter koph ; but, instead of it, we have resh both here, where it should not be, and in the next verse where it should be. Dr. Kennicott reads kumah , "arise," and Houbigant, ketsar , "cut short." The word which began with koph has been long lost out of the verse, as every version seems to have read that which now stands in the Hebrew text.
