OET (OET-LV) A_song of_the_ascents[fn] I_lift_up eyes_my to the_mountains from_where will_it_come help_my.
121:1 Note: KJB: Ps.121.1
OET (OET-RV) A song for climbing towards Yerushalem.
⇔ I look up towards the hills.
⇔ Where will my help come from?
Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / idiom
אֶשָּׂ֣א עֵ֭ינַי
lift_up eyes,my
Here, to lift up your eyes is an idiom that means to look upwards. If this phrase does not have that meaning in your language, use an idiom from your language that does have this meaning or state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “I gaze up”
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit
אֶל־הֶהָרִ֑ים
to/towards the,mountains
During the time that the author lived, many people considered mountains to be the place where gods dwelt. If it would be helpful to your readers, you could express that explicitly. Alternate translation: “to the mountains, where people say that gods dwell”
Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / personification
מֵ֝אַ֗יִן יָבֹ֥א עֶזְרִֽי
from,where come help,my
The author speaks of help as if it were a person that could come from somewhere. If it would be helpful in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “Who will help me?”
121:1 The mountains were known for their idolatrous worship (Deut 12:2), and Israel was enticed to the hilltop shrines (Hos 4:13). This verse can be understood as a rhetorical question expecting a negative answer: The gods of the hilltop shrines cannot rescue anyone. Others understand the mountains to be a symbol of the Lord’s strength (Ps 95:4). In that case, the question would be interpreted literally (Where does my help come from?), with the answer given in the next verse

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.
