The Key Word — בְּכִסְלֶךָ, ve.khis.Le.khagenerated
The word כֶּסֶל (kecel) primarily refers to the loins but also conveys meanings of confidence, hope, or foolishness depending on context. In this verse, it signifies a source of trust and assurance, indicating where one places their confidence.
The parsing as a construct noun indicates that it is closely linked to the suffix, making it possessive: 'your confidence.' This connection emphasizes personal trust in the LORD as a protective source.
How Translations Differ — measured against the Berean Standard Biblegenerated
This study reads the verse in the Berean Standard Bible, so the BSB is the wording every comparison below is made against.
Sentence Structuregenerated
The finite verbs in this verse are יִהְיֶ֣ה (he will be) and וְשָׁמַ֖ר (and he will keep), indicating actions performed by the LORD. The structure shows a cause-and-effect relationship: because the LORD is your confidence, He will keep you safe.
The main clause is supported by a prepositional phrase indicating the object of the keeping, רַגְלְךָ (your foot), and a prepositional phrase indicating the source of danger, מִלָּכֶד (from capture).
Septuagint Backgroundgenerated
The Septuagint translates יְהוָה as κύριος (Lord), maintaining the divine name and its significance. This choice reflects a consistent understanding of God's protective role.
The other words align closely, indicating that the translators understood the Hebrew text's intent and meaning, particularly in conveying the assurance of the LORD's protection.

The four witnesses to this verse — Masoretic, Septuagint, Samaritan, Qumran
The Masoretic Text reads: כִּֽי־ יְ֭הוָה יִהְיֶ֣ה בְכִסְלֶ֑ךָ וְשָׁמַ֖ר רַגְלְךָ֣ מִלָּֽכֶד׃. The Septuagint matches five of the seven words, showing a strong agreement in the core message of the verse, though the word order and articles differ.
כִּֽי־ יְ֭הוָה יִהְיֶ֣ה בְכִסְלֶ֑ךָ וְשָׁמַ֖ר רַגְלְךָ֣ מִלָּֽכֶד׃
5 of the 7 words are matched. This is the word-by-word correspondence, not the Septuagint's own sentence — its word order and its articles are its own.
