78:61 Probably referring to the sacred chest containing the tablets with the Sinai agreement written on them. But there’s also connotations of Shimshon’s/Samson’s capture in this line.

uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / metonymy

וַ⁠יִּתֵּ֣ן לַ⁠שְּׁבִ֣י עֻזּ֑⁠וֹ

(Some words not found in UHB: and=he/it_gave to,captivity strength_of,his and,splendor_of,his in_[the],hand_of foe )

Here, his strength represents the box of the covenant, which showed God’s power. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use an equivalent expression or plain language. Alternate translation: [And he allowed the box to be captured] or [And he let the box that showed his power be captured]

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / abstractnouns

עֻזּ֑⁠וֹ

strength_of,his

If your language does not use an abstract noun for the idea of strength, you could express the same idea in another way. Alternate translation: [what showed he was strong] or [the box that showed his power]

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / abstractnouns

לַ⁠שְּׁבִ֣י

(Some words not found in UHB: and=he/it_gave to,captivity strength_of,his and,splendor_of,his in_[the],hand_of foe )

If your language does not use an abstract noun for the idea of captivity, you could express the same idea in another way. Alternate translation: [to be captured] or [to those who would capture it]

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / ellipsis

וְֽ⁠תִפְאַרְתּ֥⁠וֹ

and,splendor_of,his

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: [and he gave his splendor]

Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / metonymy

וְֽ⁠תִפְאַרְתּ֥⁠וֹ בְ⁠יַד־צָֽר

and,splendor_of,his in_[the],hand_of foe

Here, his splendor represents the box of the covenant, and the hand of the enemy represents their power or control. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use equivalent expressions or plain language. Alternate translation: [and his glorious box into the power of the enemy] or [and the box that showed his splendor to be controlled by the enemy]

Note 6 topic: figures-of-speech / abstractnouns

וְֽ⁠תִפְאַרְתּ֥⁠וֹ

and,splendor_of,his

If your language does not use an abstract noun for the idea of splendor, you could express the same idea in another way. Alternate translation: [and what was splendid to him] or [and the ark that showed he was glorious]

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.
