PSA 136:8 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. Normally the OET discourages the reading of individual ‘verses’, but this view is only designed as a tool for doing comparisons of different translations. Click on any Bible version abbreviation down the left-hand side to see the verse in more of its context. The OET segments on this page are still very early looks into the unfinished 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 / metaphor

to rule by day

(Some words not found in UHB: DOM the,sun for=dominion in_the=day that/for/because/then/when to,forever love_of,his )

The sun is spoken of as if it were a king. Alternate translation: “to mark the time of day” (See also: figs-personification)

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / abstractnouns

for his covenant faithfulness endures forever

(Some words not found in UHB: DOM the,sun for=dominion in_the=day that/for/because/then/when to,forever love_of,his )

If your language does not use an abstract noun for the idea behind the word faithfulness, you could express the same idea with an adjective. See how you translated this in [Psalms 136:1](../136/001.md). Alternate translation: “because he remains faithful to his covenant forever”
