Note: This view shows ‘verses’ which are not natural language units and hence sometimes only part of a sentence will be visible. Normally the OET discourages the reading of individual ‘verses’, but this view is only designed as a tool for doing comparisons of different translations. Click on any Bible version abbreviation down the left-hand side to see the verse in more of its context.

23:6 The Lord expresses his unfailing love through the goodness of his presence and other benefits that he alone provides (69:16; 86:17; 109:21; see 18:6; 61:4). He actively bestows care that is greater than the temporary trials imposed by enemies (7:1).
Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor
Surely goodness and covenant faithfulness will pursue me
(Some words not found in UHB: surely good and,mercy follow,me all/each/any/every days_of life_of,my and,dwell in=house_of YHWH for,long_of days )
Yahweh being good and faithful to a person is spoken of as if goodness and covenant faithfulness are things that pursue after a person. The abstract nouns “goodness” and “faithfulness” can be translated as adjectives. Alternate translation: “Surely you will be good and faithful to me” (See also: figs-abstractnouns)
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / abstractnouns
all the days of my life
(Some words not found in UHB: surely good and,mercy follow,me all/each/any/every days_of life_of,my and,dwell in=house_of YHWH for,long_of days )
If your language does not use an abstract noun for the idea behind the word life, you could express the same idea with a verbal form. Alternate translation: “as long as I live”
the house of Yahweh
(Some words not found in UHB: surely good and,mercy follow,me all/each/any/every days_of life_of,my and,dwell in=house_of YHWH for,long_of days )
This could mean: (1) this refers to Yahweh’s eternal home, or (2) this refers to Yahweh’s temple in Jerusalem. If possible, translate it so that both meanings could be understood.
Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / idiom
for the length of my days
(Some words not found in UHB: surely good and,mercy follow,me all/each/any/every days_of life_of,my and,dwell in=house_of YHWH for,long_of days )
This idiom refers to the duration of his life. Alternate translation: “as long as I live” or “forever”
