PSA 62:5 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.

דּ֣וֹמִּי נַפְשִׁ֑⁠י

(Some words not found in UHB: alone to,God wait_in_silence my_self_of,my that/for/because/then/when from=him/it hope_of,my )

The psalmist is speaking to his own soul as if he were speaking to another person who could hear him. He is doing this to emphasize how strongly he feels about waiting for God alone. If it would be helpful in your language, you could translate these words as if he were speaking directly to himself or expressing his own determination. Alternate translation: [I shall be silent before God alone] or [I tell myself to wait quietly for God alone]

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / synecdoche

נַפְשִׁ֑⁠י

(Some words not found in UHB: alone to,God wait_in_silence my_self_of,my that/for/because/then/when from=him/it hope_of,my )

The psalmist is using my soul to represent all of himself in the act of waiting for God. If it would be helpful in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: [I tell myself] or [self]

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / abstractnouns

תִּקְוָתִֽ⁠י

(Some words not found in UHB: alone to,God wait_in_silence my_self_of,my that/for/because/then/when from=him/it hope_of,my )

If your language does not use an abstract noun for the idea of hope, you could express the same idea in another way. Alternate translation: [what I await] or [what I confidently wait for]
