PREVENT . To ‘prevent’ in the Eng. of AV [Note: Authorized Version.] is to ‘be before,’ ‘anticipate,’ ‘forestall,’ as Psalms 119:147 ‘I prevented the dawning of the morning and cried’ (Amer. Revision has ‘anticipated’ here, but the Eng. Revisers retain ‘prevented’). Sometimes it is to forestall for one’s good, as Psalms 59:10 ‘The God of my mercy shall prevent me’; and sometimes for one’s hurt, as Psalms 18:5 ‘The snares of death prevented me’; but the mod. idea of merely ‘hindering’ never occurs in AV [Note: Authorized Version.] .
