desires, longings (construct plural of what the wicked crave)
This plural construct form means desires or longings, appearing in Psalm 140:8 (English v.9) in a prayer against the wicked: "the desires of the wicked." The noun derives from a root meaning to desire or crave. The psalmist prays that God would not grant the wicked what they long for, recognizing that their desires are bent toward evil. The term emphasizes the internal orientation of the heart—what people crave reveals their character, and the wicked person's desires align with schemes and violence.
Sentidos
1. sense 1 — Psalm 140:8 pleads: "Grant not, O LORD, the desires of the wicked; do not further their evil plot." Spanish "deseos-de" (desires of) and French "de-désir" identify this as what the wicked long for. The construct plural emphasizes the multiple evil cravings that drive the wicked, which the psalmist asks God to frustrate rather than fulfill, trusting divine justice to thwart evil schemes. 1×
