Note: This view shows ‘verses’ which are not 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.

Religious and Cultural Concepts in This Psalm

Cursing of Enemies

In this psalm, David takes evil very seriously and calls on Yahweh to punish those who are doing evil to himself and others so that the evil will stop. It is important to note that David does not take vengeance personally, but only calls on Yahweh to combat evil and to perform justice, as Yahweh has promised to do.

Translation Issues in This Psalm

Singular and Plural

David refers to his enemies in the singular in verses 6–19 and in the plural in the rest of the psalm. You may want to use the plural throughout the psalm, or you may want to add a footnote at verse 6 that explains that in the section of verses 6–19 David may be speaking of the leader of his enemies or he may be speaking of each one individually.
