OET interlinear PSA 37:22

uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / parallelism

Those who are blessed by God will inherit the land; those who are cursed by him will be cut off

(Some words not found in UHB: that/for/because/then/when his_blessed_of,[ones] inherit land and,his_cursed_of,[ones] cut_off )

This is a contrastive form of Parallelism. Those who are blessed by God in contrast to those who are cursed by God.

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / activepassive

Those who are blessed by God

(Some words not found in UHB: that/for/because/then/when his_blessed_of,[ones] inherit land and,his_cursed_of,[ones] cut_off )

This can be stated as active. Alternate translation: “Those whom God blesses”

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

will inherit the land

(Some words not found in UHB: that/for/because/then/when his_blessed_of,[ones] inherit land and,his_cursed_of,[ones] cut_off )

The possession of the land is spoken of as if it had been received as an inheritance. See how you translated this in [Psalms 37:9](../037/009.md). Alternate translation: “will receive the land as their own possession” or “will be allowed to live safely in the land”

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / activepassive

those who are cursed by him

(Some words not found in UHB: that/for/because/then/when his_blessed_of,[ones] inherit land and,his_cursed_of,[ones] cut_off )

If your language does not use the passive form in this way, you can state this in active form or in another way that is natural in your language. Alternate translation: “those whom Yahweh curses”

Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

will be cut off

(Some words not found in UHB: that/for/because/then/when his_blessed_of,[ones] inherit land and,his_cursed_of,[ones] cut_off )

The destruction of the wicked is spoken of as if they were a branch of plant that was cut off and thrown away. See how you translated this in [Psalms 37:9](../037/009.md).
