אַתָּ֥ה נֵירִ֖י יְהוָ֑ה וַיהוָ֖ה יַגִּ֥יהַּ חָשְׁכִּֽי
(Some words not found in UHB: that/for/because/then/when you(ms) lamp_of,[are]_my YHWH and,Yahweh lightens darkness_of,my )
Here David is speaking as if Yahweh were actually a lamp that gives him light in his darkness. This image is rich in meaning. Among the meanings that come out in this context is that Yahweh helps him understand what he should do when he would otherwise be confused or uncertain. If it would be helpful in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: [you enable me to recognize what I should do when I could not understand that myself]
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.
Acknowledgements: The Hebrew text, lemmas, and morphology are all thanks to the OSHB and some of the glosses are from Macula Hebrew.
