PSA 4:8 Parallel Verse View

Note: This view shows ‘verses’ which are not necessarily natural language units and hence sometimes only part of a sentence will be visible—click on any Bible version abbreviation down the left-hand side to see the verse in more of its context. Normally the OET discourages the reading of individual ‘verses’, but this view is only designed as a tool for Bible-translators and others doing comparisons of different translations—the older translations are further down the page (so you can read up from the bottom to trace the English translation history). The OET segments on this page are still early looks into the drafted texts of the Open English Translation of the Bible—please double-check these texts in advance before using in public.

Text critical issues=none Clarity of original=clear Importance to us=normal Speaker(s)=Narrator (All still tentative.)

Note 1 topic: grammar-connect-logic-result

בְּ⁠שָׁל֣וֹם יַחְדָּו֮ אֶשְׁכְּבָ֪ה וְ⁠אִ֫ישָׁ֥ן כִּֽי־אַתָּ֣ה יְהוָ֣ה לְ⁠בָדָ֑ד לָ֝⁠בֶ֗טַח תּוֹשִׁיבֵֽ⁠נִי

(Some words not found in UHB: in,peace both lie_down and,I_will_sleep that/for/because/then/when you(ms) YHWH alone,alone to,security you,caused_me_to_dwell )

If it would be more natural in your language, you could reverse the order of these phrases, since the second phrase gives the reason for the result that the first phrase describes. Alternate translation: [Since you alone, Yahweh, cause me to dwell securely, therefore in peace I will both lie down and sleep.]

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / abstractnouns

בְּ⁠שָׁל֣וֹם

(Some words not found in UHB: in,peace both lie_down and,I_will_sleep that/for/because/then/when you(ms) YHWH alone,alone to,security you,caused_me_to_dwell )

If your language does not use an abstract noun for the idea of peace, you could express the same idea in another way. Alternate translation: [Peacefully]
