Exegesis
In the first question the Qal imperfect ashit {אָשִׁית | ʾā-šît} 'I set' paired with the plural noun etzot {עֵצוֹת | ʿê-ṣôt} 'counsels' and the prepositional construct benafshi {בְּנַפְשִׁי | bə-naf-šî} 'in my soul' depicts ongoing internal deliberation.
In context — Psalm 13:2
How long must I keep setting counsels in my soul , with sorrow filling my heart all the day? How long will my enemy remain lifted up over me?
