OET interlinear PSA 50:9

uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / ellipsis

לֹא־אֶקַּ֣ח מִ⁠בֵּיתְ⁠ךָ֣ פָ֑ר מִ֝⁠מִּכְלְאֹתֶ֗י⁠ךָ עַתּוּדִֽים

not (Some words not found in UHB: not take from,household_of,your bull from,folds_of,your goats )

Asaph 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: [I will not take a bull from your house, and I will not take goats from your folds] or [I will not take a bull from your house or goats from your folds]

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

לֹא־אֶקַּ֣ח מִ⁠בֵּיתְ⁠ךָ֣ פָ֑ר מִ֝⁠מִּכְלְאֹתֶ֗י⁠ךָ עַתּוּדִֽים

not (Some words not found in UHB: not take from,household_of,your bull from,folds_of,your goats )

God is not saying that he will not accept bulls or goats from the Israelites as sacrifices. This psalm as a whole is supportive of the sacrificial system. However, its emphasis is on offering sacrifices for the right reasons. They are not something that God needs; they are a way of living in relationship with God (as verses 14 and 15 especially emphasize). You could indicate this explicitly in your translation if that would be helpful to your readers. Alternate translation: [I do not need to take a bull from your house or goats from your folds]

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / metonymy

מִ⁠בֵּיתְ⁠ךָ֣

(Some words not found in UHB: not take from,household_of,your bull from,folds_of,your goats )

Here, a person’s house represents his “household” or “possessions.” If it would be helpful in your language, you could use an equivalent expression or plain language. Alternate translation: [from among your possessions]

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

עַתּוּדִֽים

goats

Here and in v. 13, the psalmist is using a specific term that means male goats. If your language does not have a general term for goats but must specify whether a goat is male or female, use your term for male goats in these places.
