The Prayer-book version runs: "My bones are not hid from Thee, though I be made secretly, and fashioned beneath in the earth."-Ps. cxxxix. 14. "My bones were not hid from Thee, when I was made in secret, [when] I was curiously wrought [as] in the lower parts of the earth."-Perowne.
194 Ps. cxxxix. 7. See R.V. "Hell" is "Sheol," a word also rendered "grave." It means the "place of darkness," the gloomy underworld, where the spirits of the departed were believed to abide. It is the place from which Samuel's spirit was called up by the witch of Endor.-1 Sam. xxviii.
196 Nahum ii. 6.-The LXX. shows-"pulai twn polewn dihnoxqhsan kai ta basileia diepese. kai h upostasij apekalufuh." The Vulg.-"Portoe fluviorum apertoe sunt, et templum ad solum dirutum. Et miles captivus adductus est." R.V.-"The gates of the rivers are opened and the palace is dissolved, and Huzzab is uncovered, and it is decreed; she is uncovered, she is carried away," etc.
