- Hebrew Word from the Masoretic Text
- The word for “the truth” in Psalm 60:4 is the Hebrew Word “qô shet.”
It is used only one time in the Masoretic text, it is a noun and it means
“truth.” It is a variant spelling of the word “qô sht” which is also
a noun and used only once in the Text. Proverbs 22:21 (KJV) That I might
make thee know the certainty of the words of truth; that thou
mightest answer the words of truth to them that send unto thee? Some of
the modern versions translate it as bow, archers, escape destruction,
attack. They no doubt took this interpretation from the Septuagint.
