PSA 101:2 Parallel Verse View

Note: This view shows ‘verses’ which are not necessarily natural language units and hence sometimes only part of a sentence will be visible—click on any Bible version abbreviation down the left-hand side to see the verse in more of its context. Normally the OET discourages the reading of individual ‘verses’, but this view is only designed as a tool for Bible-translators and others doing comparisons of different translations—the older translations are further down the page (so you can read up from the bottom to trace the English translation history). The OET segments on this page are still early looks into the drafted texts of the Open English Translation of the Bible—please double-check these texts in advance before using in public.

David is using the question form When will you come to me to emphasize the strength of his desire. If a speaker of your language would not use the question form for that purpose, you could translate this as a statement or as an exclamation. Alternate translation: [I want you to come to me!]

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

אֶתְהַלֵּ֥ךְ

(Some words not found in UHB: study to,a_way entire/complete/moral when(q) come to,me walk in,the_integrity_of my_heart_of,my in,the_midst_of my_house_of,my )

(Some words not found in UHB: study to,a_way entire/complete/moral when(q) come to,me walk in,the_integrity_of my_heart_of,my in,the_midst_of my_house_of,my )

The phrase in the integrity of my heart was a common expression meaning “with complete honesty” or “with pure motives.” If this phrase does not have that meaning in your language, you could use a comparable expression from your language that does have that meaning, or you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: [being honest with everyone] or [with a clear conscience]
