uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / rquestion

(Occurrence 0) Why do you forget us forever? Why do you forsake us for the length of your days?

(Some words not found in UHB: to/for=what to,always forget,us forsake,us for,entire_of days )

The author uses these rhetorical questions to express his feelings that Yahweh has forgotten them. These questions can be written as a statement. Alternate translation: “It is as though you will forget us forever or not come back to us for a very long time!”

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / idiom

(Occurrence 0) for the length of your days

(Some words not found in UHB: to/for=what to,always forget,us forsake,us for,entire_of days )

Here this idiom refers to the duration of God’s life. Since God lives forever, it can also be translated as “forever.” Perhaps the writer was uing hyperbole and exaggerating the length of time he believed that God was forsaking them. Alternate translation: “for as long as you live” or “forever” (See also: figs-hyperbole)

Note: The OET-RV is still only a first draft, and so far only a few words have been (mostly automatically) matched to the Hebrew or Greek words that they’re translated from.

Acknowledgements: The Hebrew text, lemmas, and morphology are all thanks to the OSHB and some of the glosses are from Macula Hebrew.
