UTN uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / merism

ψαλμοῖς, καὶ ὕμνοις, καὶ ᾠδαῖς πνευματικαῖς

psalms and hymns and songs spiritual

This could mean: (1) Paul is using these words as a merism for “all sorts of songs to praise God” (2) Paul is listing specific forms of music.

ψαλμοῖς

psalms

These psalms are probably songs from the Old Testament book of Psalms that Christians sang.

ὕμνοις

hymns

These hymns are songs of praise and worship that may have been written specifically for Christians to sing.

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / doublet

ᾠδαῖς πνευματικαῖς

songs spiritual

This could mean: (1) these are songs that the Holy Spirit inspires a person to sing right at that moment (2) spiritual songs and “hymns” form a doublet. They mean basically the same thing, and you could use one word for these instead of two.

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / metonymy

τῇ καρδίᾳ ὑμῶν

˱in˲_the heart ˱of˲_you_all

Here, heart is a metonym for a person’s thoughts or inner being. This could mean: (1) they should do this with true motives and sincerity. Alternate translation: “from deep within your being” or “sincerely” (2) they should do this with enthusiasm: Alternate translation: “with all of your being” or “enthusiastically” See the UST.
