Psalm 55:17
Excerpted from: What Is Prayer?It is the Hebrew word, phonetically, very similar to the English word "rib." It is spelled "R-I-B" just like Adam's rib, just like your rib-cage.
This word rib indicates a feeling, an emotion. It can be used in a situation as soft as to merely complain. If a person makes a complaint, it is the Hebrew word rib. David was complaining in this prayer. But it also means, "to grapple with, wrangle, fight an adversary, strive, or contend as with a judge."
