To Know, Guard or Watch Over? (Ps. 1:6, Heb. "Yada")
When I was reading Psalm 1 some days ago, I realized that the HCSB translation had a quite different rendering of verse 6 than NKJV/NASB that I remembered from previous reading.
Psalm 1:6 in HCSB states:
For the LORD watches over the way of the righteous, but the way of the wicked leads to ruin.
Other translations that also uses “watches over”, is NLT-SE, TNIV, NIV and NRSV. The CEV translation uses “protects”.

Weird HCSB difference in Kindle Version (Matt 1:12)

Have you ever wondered what stuff like “Other mss omit bracketed text” or “NU-Text omits this verse” mean? Or maybe you know what it means, but you want to dig deeper, do some New Testament text criticism on your own. Unless you know Greek and such, it might be difficult to find what you’re seeking on your own, and even if you know some Greek, it might be quite some work.

Psa. 37:3–4 — New Depths Discovered in Translation Differences
It’s quite interesting and also surprising for me sometimes to notice how differently the old Hebrew scriptures are translated. I think this is especially true of the Psalms. This might be confusing and you might start to fear that you’re missing important parts. (I generally believe you get the main points correct in most translations, and whatever a translation misses, the Holy Spirit will reveal, as we can’t really understand any of this correctly without revelation from Him.
