OET interlinear PSA 115:10

uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

בֵּ֣ית אַ֭הֲרֹן

(Some words not found in UHB: house_of ʼAhₐron trust in,Yahweh help_of,[is]_their and,shield_of,their he/it )

Here, House means all the people descended from a particular person. This image envisions them as if they were one household living together. So House of Aaron figuratively means all the people descended from Aaron, the first high priest. If it would be helpful in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: [Descendants of Aaron]

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / 123person

עֶזְרָ֖⁠ם וּ⁠מָגִנָּ֣⁠ם

help_of,[is]_their (Some words not found in UHB: house_of ʼAhₐron trust in,Yahweh help_of,[is]_their and,shield_of,their he/it )

The psalmist switches here from the second person exhortation trust in Yahweh to the third person their help and their shield. It is probable that when this psalm was sung, a leader would sing the second person exhortation parts and a chorus would sing the third-person parts of verses 9–11. If it would be helpful in your language, you could translate the third person parts as second person. Alternate translation: [your help and your shield]

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / abstractnouns

עֶזְרָ֖⁠ם

help_of,[is]_their

If your language does not use an abstract noun for the idea of help, you could express the same idea in another way. Alternate translation: [the one who helps them] or [the one who helps you]

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

וּ⁠מָגִנָּ֣⁠ם

(Some words not found in UHB: house_of ʼAhₐron trust in,Yahweh help_of,[is]_their and,shield_of,their he/it )

Here the psalmist is speaking of Yahweh as if he were a shield that protects people from attack. If this image communicates well in your language, please use it. If not, you could express this as a comparison. Alternate translation: [and the one who protects them] or [and the one who protects you]
