they have solemnly warned me
| Morphological Notes | Verb, Piel perfect, 3rd common plural with 1st common singular pronominal suffix. |
| Rendering Rationale | The Piel stem intensifies the root idea of repeated testimony, yielding the sense of earnest or solemn warning. The perfect 3rd common plural with 1st common singular suffix is rendered as "they have … me," preserving both number and object. |

SILEX v2
SIBI-P2 (Context-Aware)
have surrounded me
| Same as P1 | No — adjusted for context |
| Rationale | P1 (“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. |
