PSA 126:2 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.

UTN uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / parallelism

אָ֤ז יִמָּלֵ֪א שְׂח֡וֹק פִּי⁠נוּ֮ וּ⁠לְשׁוֹנֵ֪⁠נוּ רִ֫נָּ֥ה

then (Some words not found in UHB: then filled_with laughter mouth_of,our and,tongue_of,our shouts_of_joy then said among,nations great YHWH for=doing with these )

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, as in the UST. 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: [Then our mouth was filled with laughter, indeed, our tongue with a shout of joy]

The psalmist is using has made great to do as a common expression of the culture to mean “has done great things.” If this phrase does not have that meaning for your readers, you could use a comparable expression from your language that does have that meaning, or you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: [Yahweh has done great things for his people]
