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.

ClVg No ClVg PSA 94:17 verse available
Ps 94 This plea for the Lord’s justice includes both communal and individual expressions of lament (94:1-7, 16-23). The psalmist gives voice to the pain and suffering caused by the wicked, but he also depicts the comfort and stability of the Lord’s protection. He calls on the Lord to avenge the needy against the arrogant and foolish, he rebukes such people for their folly (94:8-11), and he pronounces a blessing on the wise (94:12-15).
Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / hypo
Unless Yahweh had been my help & silence
(Some words not found in UHB: if_~_not YHWH help, to/for=me as,soon dwelt silence soul,my )
This is a hypothetical situation. Yahweh did help him, so he was not lying in the place of silence.
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / abstractnouns
Unless Yahweh had been my help
(Some words not found in UHB: if_~_not YHWH help, to/for=me as,soon dwelt silence soul,my )
If your language does not use an abstract noun for the idea behind the word help, you could express the same idea with a verb. Alternate translation: “If Yahweh had not helped me”
Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / euphemism
I would soon be lying down in the place of silence
(Some words not found in UHB: if_~_not YHWH help, to/for=me as,soon dwelt silence soul,my )
Here “would be lying down” refers to “death” and “in the place of silence” refers to the grave.” Alternate translation: “in a short time, I would be dead, lying in a silent grave”
