OET interlinear PSA 13:2

uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / metonymy

בְּ⁠נַפְשִׁ֗⁠י

(Some words not found in UHB: until when? YHWH will,you_forget_me forever until when? hide DOM face_of,your from,me )

Here, in my soul represents David’s whole self as he experiences emotions. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use an equivalent expression or plain language as in the UST.

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / ellipsis

יָג֣וֹן בִּ⁠לְבָבִ֣⁠י

(Some words not found in UHB: until when? YHWH will,you_forget_me forever until when? hide DOM face_of,your from,me )

The psalmist is leaving out some of the words that in many languages a sentence would need in order to be complete. You can supply these words from the context if that would be clearer in your language. Alternate translation: [having sorrow in my heart]

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / abstractnouns

יָג֣וֹן

(Some words not found in UHB: until when? YHWH will,you_forget_me forever until when? hide DOM face_of,your from,me )

If your language does not use an abstract noun for the idea of sorrow, you could express the same idea in another way. Alternate translation: [feeling sorrowful]

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / metonymy

בִּ⁠לְבָבִ֣⁠י

(Some words not found in UHB: until when? YHWH will,you_forget_me forever until when? hide DOM face_of,your from,me )

Here the heart represents where a person’s thoughts and feelings exist. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use a comparable expression or state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: [in my thoughts] or [in my inner being]

Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

יוֹמָ֑ם

(Some words not found in UHB: until when? YHWH will,you_forget_me forever until when? hide DOM face_of,your from,me )

The implication is that David was distressed and in anguish throughout the entire daytime. You could include this information if that would be helpful to your readers. Alternate translation: [daily] or [continually]

Note 6 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

יָר֖וּם אֹיְבִ֣⁠י עָלָֽ⁠י

(Some words not found in UHB: until when? YHWH will,you_forget_me forever until when? hide DOM face_of,your from,me )

By be high over me, the psalmist means that his enemy will defeat him and triumph over him. You could indicate this explicitly in your translation if that would be helpful to your readers. Alternate translation: [will the one being hostile to me be exalted over me]
