pits, watery depths; floods or abysses
Found only in Psalm 140:10 (in the MT's enumeration, v11), this plural noun refers to pits or floods into which the psalmist prays the wicked will fall. The root suggests flowing water or depths. Some propose emending to 'nets' (reading כמרות from a different root), but the MT's 'pits' or 'floods' fits the context of fiery coals and inescapable traps falling on the wicked.
Sentidos
1. sense 1 — Psalm 140:10 piles up images of retribution: burning coals, pits/floods, no rising again. The 'watery pits' or 'abysses' (French 'abîme') suggest inescapable depths. The textual uncertainty (some suggest 'nets') shows how rare this word is, but the context of physical traps and natural forces supports 'pits' or 'floods' as places of destruction from which there's no escape. 1×
