SILEX v2

SIBI-P2 (Context-Aware)

have surrounded me

Same as P1No — adjusted for context
RationaleP1 (“they have solemnly warned me”) misses the idiomatic meaning in context; the verb here means 'have surrounded me' (to enclose, as with cords of the wicked). Adjusted to match typical usage and context of the psalm.
