Verse 11
For laid it to thy heart "Nor revolved it in thy hand" - Eight MSS., (four ancient), and the two oldest editions, with another, add the conjunction ו vau , ולא velo : which is confirmed by all the ancient Versions.
Even of old "And winked" - For ומעולם umeolam , which makes no good sense or construction in this place, twenty-three MSS. (seven ancient) and three editions have מעלם , (to be thus pointed מעלם malim ); Παρορω , Septuagint; quasi non videns , "as if not seeing," Vulgate. See Psalm 10:1 . The truth of this reading, so confirmed, admits of no doubt. In one of my own MSS. the ו vau has been written, but afterwards struck out. Is it not because I was silent, and winked?
