Commentaire de citation sur Les Psaumes 69:16

אַל־תִּשְׁטְפֵ֤נִי ׀ שִׁבֹּ֣לֶת מַ֭יִם וְאַל־תִּבְלָעֵ֣נִי מְצוּלָ֑ה וְאַל־תֶּאְטַר־עָלַ֖י בְּאֵ֣ר פִּֽיהָ׃

Ne permets pas que je sois submergé par la violence des flots, englouti par le gouffre; que la bouche de l’abîme ne se referme pas sur moi!

Rashi

Whose right arm was immobile. Yonasan renders "A man whose right arm was shrunken." "Gamid" in the Aramaic always indicates something shrunken by disease, "retrait", "shrunk" in old French. He could not utilize his right arm. In Hebrew, "closed", as in "Let not the well close its mouth over me."4Tehilim, 69:16. His right arm was "closed"—he could not utilize it.

Metzudat Zion

A matter of contraction as in Psalm 69: 16 "Don't let the mouth of the Pit not close over me." It is to say it is as if his right hand was contracted because he didn't extend it.

Rashi

With shriveled right arms. Their right arms were shrunken. They could not utilize them, as if they were closed, as in "Let not the well close its mouth over me."3Tehilim, 69:16.
