1.2 KiB
set me free
The writer speaks of Yahweh saving him from distress as if Yahweh had taken him from a place of confinement to a wide open space where he could move about freely. (See: rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-metaphor)
what can man do to me?
The writer asks this rhetorical question to emphasize that there is nothing that man can do to hurt him since Yahweh is with him. This question can be translated as a statement. AT: "people cannot do anything to harm me." (See: rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-rquestion)
Yahweh is on my side as my helper
To be on one's side is an idiomatic expression that indicates that that person approves of and will help another. AT: "Yahweh approves of me and will help me" (See: rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-idiom)
I will look in triumph on those who hate me
It is implied that Yahweh is the one who will defeat the writer's enemies, while the writer looks on. The full meaning of this can be made clear. AT: "I will see Yahweh defeating all those who hate me" (See: rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-explicit)
