There is a small number of places in the Psalter where almost every commentator seems to agree about the need to emend the Hebrew word kabod (glory) to kabed (liver), namely Pss. 7.5 (Heb. 6); 16.9; 30.12; 57.8(9); 108.1(2). The argument that follows is that the reading Kabod should be retained and that it contains strong spiritual implications which are lost in the process of emendation.
