Psalm 9:36 — shatter the arm of the sinner and the wicked; the arm is the soul that worked wickedness
“Shatter the arm of the sinner and the wicked” (Psalm 9:36).
A sinner is the one who sins from pleasure-loving and licentiousness; a wicked one is the one who is voluntarily an evildoer. And he said “arm” of the soul that has worked wickedness. The shattering of the arm makes the sins vanish; and to be delivered from sins is a benefit of someone’s arm being shattered; thus I also am persuaded that God punishes.

9.36 Σύντριψον τὸν βραχίονα τοῦ ἁμαρ τωλοῦ καὶ πονηροῦ. ̔Αμαρτωλός ἐστιν ὁ ἐξ ἡδυπαθείας καὶ ἀκολασίας ἁμαρτάνων· πονηρὸς δὲ ὁ ἑκου σίως κακοποιητικός. –Βραχίονα δὲ ει πε τὴν πονηρὰ κατεργασαμένην ψυχήν. ̔Η συν τριβὴ τοῦ βραχίονος ἀφανίζει τὰς ἁμαρτίας· τὸ δὲ ἀπαλλαγῆναι τῶν ἁμαρτιῶν εὐεργε σία ἐστὶ τοῦ συντριβῆναί τινος βραχίονα· ου τω καὶ ἐγὼ πείθομαι κολάζειν Θεῷ.
