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.

Ps 3 This psalm laments that the expectations raised by Pss 1–2 have not been met. But even when beset by enemies, godly people need not question the Lord’s just dealings. Rather, they can confidently trust his goodness and expect God to rescue them.
Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / abstractnouns
אֵ֤ין יְֽשׁוּעָ֓תָה לּ֬וֹ בֵֽאלֹהִ֬ים
(Some words not found in UHB: YHWH what many foes,my many rising against,me )
If your language does not use an abstract noun for the idea of salvation, you could express the same idea in another way. Alternate translation: “Surely God will not save him”
Note 2 topic: translate-transliterate
סֶֽלָה
(Some words not found in UHB: YHWH what many foes,my many rising against,me )
This is the first instance of the Hebrew word Selah, the meaning of which is unknown. The Septuagint translates the term as διάψαλμα (diapsalma), meaning “musical interlude.” Your translation team should decide if you will (1) transliterate Selah or (2) omit Selah or (3) follow the Septuagint and translate something like “pause” into your language.
