In Ps. 55:23b, I see that most translations say something like "He will
never let the righteous be shaken." Whence comes the "never," though?
It appears that the translation never comes from "not" (lo') and "forever"
(l'olam). Is that the normal idiom for expressing the idea that something
will "never" happen? Is the psalm saying that the righteous will NEVER be
shaken? Or is it saying that the righteous will NOT be shaken FOREVER? The
latter would imply that the righteous may certainly be shaken for a time, but that
that time of shaking will come to an end.
Help!
