PSA 119:15 Parallel Verse View

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.

UTN uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / parallelism

בְּ⁠פִקֻּדֶ֥י⁠ךָ אָשִׂ֑יחָה וְ֝⁠אַבִּ֗יטָה אֹרְחֹתֶֽי⁠ךָ

(Some words not found in UHB: on,precepts_of,your meditate and,I_will_pay_attention_to paths_of,your )

These two phrases mean basically the same thing. The second emphasizes the meaning of the first by repeating the same idea with different words. If it would be helpful to your readers, you could combine them and express the emphasis in another way. Another approach would be to connect the phrases with a word that shows that the second phrase is repeating the first one, not saying something additional. See how you as a team have decided to translate the parallel phrases in the Psalms, and follow that approach here and throughout this psalm. Alternate translation: [I will ponder everything that you have taught me about how to live]

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

וְ֝⁠אַבִּ֗יטָה אֹרְחֹתֶֽי⁠ךָ

(Some words not found in UHB: on,precepts_of,your meditate and,I_will_pay_attention_to paths_of,your )

Here the psalmist is speaking of Yahweh’s instructions as if they were paths to examine and follow. Your language may have a comparable expression that you can use in your translation, or you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: [and I will think carefully about your instructions]
