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”
