OET interlinear PSA 91:6

uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / ellipsis

מִ֭⁠דֶּבֶר בָּ⁠אֹ֣פֶל יַהֲלֹ֑ךְ מִ֝⁠קֶּ֗טֶב יָשׁ֥וּד צָהֳרָֽיִם

(Some words not found in UHB: from,a_plague [which]_in,gloom stalks from,destruction wastes noon )

The psalmist is leaving out some of the words that in many languages a sentence would need in order to be complete. You can supply these words from the context if that would be clearer in your language. Alternate translation: [and you will not be afraid of the plague that walks in darkness, and you will not be afraid of the destruction that wastes at midday]

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / merism

מִ֭⁠דֶּבֶר בָּ⁠אֹ֣פֶל יַהֲלֹ֑ךְ מִ֝⁠קֶּ֗טֶב יָשׁ֥וּד צָהֳרָֽיִם

(Some words not found in UHB: from,a_plague [which]_in,gloom stalks from,destruction wastes noon )

The psalmist is using things that might happen secretly and things that might happen openly to mean things that might happen in any way. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use an equivalent expression or plain language. It may be helpful to begin a new sentence here. Alternate translation: [You will not have to be concerned about dangers that you cannot see coming or those that you can see coming]

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / personification

יַהֲלֹ֑ךְ

stalks

The psalmist is speaking of a plague as if it were a living thing that walks around. If it would be helpful in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: [that spreads]

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / metonymy

בָּ⁠אֹ֣פֶל

(Some words not found in UHB: from,a_plague [which]_in,gloom stalks from,destruction wastes noon )

The psalmist is speaking as if this plague were actually spreading from person to person in the darkness, meaning at night. He means that the plague spreads without people realizing it, in the same way that people do not realize what is happening in the darkness of night because they cannot see it. If it would be helpful in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: [invisibly]

Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / abstractnouns

מִ֝⁠קֶּ֗טֶב יָשׁ֥וּד

(Some words not found in UHB: from,a_plague [which]_in,gloom stalks from,destruction wastes noon )

If your language does not use an abstract noun for the idea of destruction, you could express the same idea in another way. Alternate translation: [of destructive things that cause great damage]

Note 6 topic: figures-of-speech / metonymy

צָהֳרָֽיִם

noon

Here, midday, the time when the sun is brightest in the sky, represents “openly and obviously.” If it would be helpful in your language, you could use an equivalent expression or plain language. Alternate translation: [in broad daylight]
