Parallel PSA 91:0

Note: This view shows ‘verses’ which are not 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.

Psalm 91 Introduction

Structure and Formatting

Psalm 91 is a “psalm of trust.” (See the discussion of the types of psalms in the General Introduction to Psalms.)This psalm is a poem, the words to a song, and so the ULT sets its lines farther to the right on the page than ordinary text in order to show that they are poetry. 1. The psalmist describes how Yahweh protects those who trust him (1–13) 2. Yahweh describes how he protects those who trust him (14–16)

Translation Issues in This Psalm

Singular “you” and “your”

The pronouns “you” and “your” are singular in verses 1–13 because the psalmist is speaking individually to people whom he wants to encourage to trust Yahweh. So use the singular forms of those pronouns in your translation if your language marks a distinction between singular and plural “you.”
