כִּ֤י אִ֥ם
(Some words not found in UHB: that/for/because/then/when if in/on/at/with,law YHWH delight,his and,in/on/at/with,law,his meditates day and,night )
The author uses the word But here to indicate a strong contrast between what the happy man does and does not do. In your translation, indicate this strong contrast in a way that is natural in your language. Alternate translation: “Rather,”
בְּתוֹרַ֥ת & וּֽבְתוֹרָת֥וֹ
in/on/at/with,law & and,in/on/at/with,law,his
Alternate translation: “in the instruction of … and in his instruction”
Note 2 topic: writing-pronouns
חֶ֫פְצ֥וֹ & יֶהְגֶּ֗ה
delight,his & meditates
Here, his and he refer to the happy man.
Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / abstractnouns
חֶ֫פְצ֥וֹ
delight,his
If your language does not use an abstract noun for the idea of delight, you could express the same idea in another way. Alternate translation: “he delights” or “he rejoices”
Note 4 topic: writing-pronouns
וּֽבְתוֹרָת֥וֹ
and,in/on/at/with,law,his
Here, his refers to Yahweh. Alternate translation: “and in Yahweh’s instruction”
Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / merism
יוֹמָ֥ם וָלָֽיְלָה
day and,night
Here, day and night is referring to all the time by naming major time components. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use an equivalent expression or plain language. Alternate translation: “round-the-clock” or “all the time”
1:2 The law (Hebrew torah) of the Lord is the full revelation of God’s instructions (see study note on Deut 4:44).
• Meditating is a process of inner reflection that can be positive (Pss 1:2; 63:6; 77:12; 143:5) or negative (see 2:1; 38:12). The Lord’s word is the object of godly meditation (119:48).
• Day and night includes all times, whether one is walking, standing, sitting, or sleeping (see Deut 6:7).
OET (OET-LV) If/because (if) in/on/at/with_law of_YHWH delight_his and_in/on/at/with_law_his he_meditates by_day and_night.
OET (OET-RV) On the contrary, they enjoy Yahweh’s instructions
⇔ and think about them day and night.
Note: The OET-RV is still only a first draft, and so far only a few words have been (mostly automatically) matched to the Hebrew or Greek words that they’re translated from.
