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 / imperative

קוּמָ֣⁠ה יְ֭הוָה

arise, YHWH

This is an imperative, but it communicates a polite request rather than a command. The psalmist is praying to God. If the imperative does not communicate a polite request for your readers, then use a form in your language that communicates a polite request. It may be helpful to add an expression such as “please” to make this clear. Alternate translation: [Please arise, Yahweh]

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / idiom

קוּמָ֣⁠ה

arise,

The psalmist is using Arise as a common expression of the culture to tell Yahweh to take action and come to his resting place. He is not telling Yahweh to stand up from a seated position. If this expression 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 as modeled in the UST.

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

לִ⁠מְנוּחָתֶ֑⁠ךָ

to,your_resting_of,place

Here Yahweh is speaking of remaining in one place as if he were resting there. Your language may have a comparable expression that you can use in your translation, or you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: [come where you can remain]

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / metonymy

וַ⁠אֲר֥וֹן עֻזֶּֽ⁠ךָ

and,the_ark_of (Some words not found in UHB: arise, YHWH to,your_resting_of,place you(ms) and,the_ark_of your_strength_of,your )

Here, strength represents Yahweh’s powerful presence. The box (ark of the covenant) is called the box of Yahweh’s strength because it symbolized his powerful presence among the people. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use an equivalent expression or plain language. Alternate translation: [and the box where your power resides]
