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.

וְ⁠אִוָּשֵׁ֑עָה

(Some words not found in UHB: support,me so,that_I_may_be_saved and,so_that_I_may_have_regard for,decrees_of,your continually )

The expression will be saved contains a passive verbal form. If it would be unnatural to use that form, you could express the idea in active form or in another way that is natural in your language. Alternate translation: [so that you will save me]

Note 2 topic: grammar-connect-logic-goal

וְ⁠אִוָּשֵׁ֑עָה וְ⁠אֶשְׁעָ֖ה

(Some words not found in UHB: support,me so,that_I_may_be_saved and,so_that_I_may_have_regard for,decrees_of,your continually )

Here, so that marks I will be saved and I may gaze on your statutes as two goals or purposes of the request Support me. Use a connector in your language that makes it clear that these are the purposes. Alternate translation: [in order that I will be saved and may gaze]

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

וְ⁠אֶשְׁעָ֖ה בְ⁠חֻקֶּ֣י⁠ךָ

(Some words not found in UHB: support,me so,that_I_may_be_saved and,so_that_I_may_have_regard for,decrees_of,your continually )

Here the psalmist is speaking of understanding Yahweh’s statutes as if it were an object that someone could gaze at with his eyes. Your language may have a comparable expression that you can use in your translation, or you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: [so that I may understand all of your instructions]
