In Psalm 62, verses 2 and 6 differ in just one word, רַבָּֽה rabbāh, at the end of the verse. This is glossed as “great(ly)”, “much”, and the like.
Many translations render it as modifying the preceding verb: NASB “I will not be greatly shaken”, KJV and RSV “I shall not be greatly moved”. However, some translations render it such that (I assume) rabbāh modifies the negative instead: NIV “I will never be shaken”, NRSV “I shall never be shaken”.
What is the rationale behind the translation of this word?
