PSA 37:5 Parallel Verse View

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 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. The OET segments on this page are still very early looks into the unfinished texts of the Open English Translation of the Bible. Please double-check these texts in advance before using in public.

Give your ways to Yahweh

(Some words not found in UHB: commit on/upon/above/on_account_of//he/it_went_in YHWH way_of,your and,trust on/upon/above=him/it and=he act )

Here “give your ways” is an idiom that means to ask Yahweh to control your life. Alternate translation: “Ask Yahweh to guide your actions in life”

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / idiom

act on your behalf

(Some words not found in UHB: commit on/upon/above/on_account_of//he/it_went_in YHWH way_of,your and,trust on/upon/above=him/it and=he act )

This is to represent another in legal issues. Here, when one trusts in Yahweh, he will defend that person and grant justice to that person.
