OET interlinear PSA 91:14

uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: writing-quotations

כִּ֤י בִ֣⁠י חָ֭שַׁק

(Some words not found in UHB: that/for/because/then/when (in),me loves and,I,will_deliver_him I,will_set_him_on_high that/for/because/then/when knowing name_of,my )

This is the beginning of a direct quotation from Yahweh. You may wish to indicate that in your translation, using a natural way of introducing direct quotations in your language. Alternate translation: [Yahweh says, “Because he clings to me”]

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

בִ֣⁠י חָ֭שַׁק

(in),me (Some words not found in UHB: that/for/because/then/when (in),me loves and,I,will_deliver_him I,will_set_him_on_high that/for/because/then/when knowing name_of,my )

The psalmist assumes that his listeners will know that by cling, he means to cling to someone out of love and devotion. You could indicate this explicitly in your translation if that would be helpful to your readers. Alternate translation: [he is devoted to me]

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / metonymy

יָדַ֥ע שְׁמִֽ⁠י

knowing (Some words not found in UHB: that/for/because/then/when (in),me loves and,I,will_deliver_him I,will_set_him_on_high that/for/because/then/when knowing name_of,my )

The word name could refer to: (1) Yahweh as a person, since each person has a name. Alternate translation: [he knows me personally]; (2) Yahweh’s reputation, which reflects his character. Alternate translation: [he knows my character and so trusts me]
