1.6 KiB
You are my hiding place
Yahweh is spoken of as if he was a safe place from the attacks of the writer's enemies. AT: "You are like a place where I can hide myself from my enemies" (See: rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-metaphor)
You will surround me with the songs of victory
This metaphor apparently means that Yahweh's protection of the writer is the cause for songs of victory to be sung. AT: "Because of you I will sing songs of victory" (See: rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-metaphor)
Selah
This may be a musical term that tells people how to sing or play their instruments here. Some translations write the Hebrew word, and some translations do not include it. See how you translated this in Psalms 3:2. (See: rc://en/ta/man/translate/translate-transliterate)
I will instruct you and teach you in the way
The words "instruct" and "teach" mean basically the same thing and emphasize careful instruction. AT: "I will teach you everything about the way" (See: rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-doublet)
I will instruct
Here the "I" is probably Yahweh who talks directly to David.
in the way which you should go
Living in the correct way is spoken of as if it were a path that the writer should walk. AT: "how you should live your life" (See: rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-metaphor)
with my eye upon you
Here "my eye" refers to Yahweh's attention. AT: "and direct my attention to you" or "and watch over you" (See: rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-metonymy)
