Click on any Bible version abbreviation down the left-hand side to see the verse in more of its context.

UTN uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / synecdoche

you have kept my feet from falling

(Some words not found in UHB: upon,I ʼElohīm vows,you render thank_offerings to/for=you(fs) )

The feet here represent the person. Falling here probably represents being killed by his enemies. Alternate translation: “you have kept me from falling” or “you have kept me from being killed by my enemies”

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

so that I may walk before God

(Some words not found in UHB: upon,I ʼElohīm vows,you render thank_offerings to/for=you(fs) )

Living and being seen by God is spoken of as walking before God. Alternate translation: “so that I may live in God’s presence”

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / metonymy

in the light of the living

(Some words not found in UHB: upon,I ʼElohīm vows,you render thank_offerings to/for=you(fs) )

Here “the light of the living” probably represents God’s enabling people to live. Alternate translation: “with the life that you give” or “because you enable me to live”
