OET interlinear PSA 46:5

uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: writing-pronouns

אֱלֹהִ֣ים בְּ֭⁠קִרְבָּ⁠הּ בַּל־תִּמּ֑וֹט

(Some words not found in UHB: river streams_of,its make_glad (a)_city ʼElohīm holy_of habitation_of most_high )

The pronouns her and she refer to the city of Jerusalem. It was common in this culture to envision a city as a mother and its residents as her children. If your language has a neuter pronoun that it uses for impersonal entities, it may be more natural to use that here. You could also repeat the noun from the previous verse. Alternate translation: [God is in the midst of the city, it will not be shaken]

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / activepassive

בַּל־תִּמּ֑וֹט

(Some words not found in UHB: river streams_of,its make_glad (a)_city ʼElohīm holy_of habitation_of most_high )

The expression will not be shaken contains a passive verbal form. If your language would not use that form, you could express the idea in active form or in another way that would be natural in your language. Alternate translation: [no one will shake her] or [no one will shake it]

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

בַּל־תִּמּ֑וֹט

(Some words not found in UHB: river streams_of,its make_glad (a)_city ʼElohīm holy_of habitation_of most_high )

The psalmist is speaking as if the city of Jerusalem might actually be shaken by the “nations” he describes in the next verse. If it would be helpful in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: [it will not be destroyed]

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / metonymy

יַעְזְרֶ֥⁠הָ אֱ֝לֹהִ֗ים

(Some words not found in UHB: river streams_of,its make_glad (a)_city ʼElohīm holy_of habitation_of most_high )

The pronoun her, referring to the city of Jerusalem, represents the people of that city. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use an equivalent expression or plain language. See what you did in the previous verse. Alternate translation: [God will help the people of that city]

Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / idiom

לִ⁠פְנ֥וֹת בֹּֽקֶר

(Some words not found in UHB: river streams_of,its make_glad (a)_city ʼElohīm holy_of habitation_of most_high )

The psalmist is using at the turning of the morning as a common expression of his culture to refer to the time when night ends and day begins. If this phrase does not have that meaning in your language, you could use a comparable expression from your language that does have that meaning, or you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: [at the break of day] or [as soon as it becomes light]

Note 6 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

לִ⁠פְנ֥וֹת בֹּֽקֶר

(Some words not found in UHB: river streams_of,its make_glad (a)_city ʼElohīm holy_of habitation_of most_high )

The psalmist is speaking as if God were going to help the people of Jerusalem at the actual turning of the morning, that is, as soon as it became light on a certain day. He means that the time of trouble, pictured as a dark night, will surely end as God brings deliverance. If it would be helpful in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: [when he brings deliverance]
