PSA 137:7 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 / metaphor

לִ⁠בְנֵ֬י אֱד֗וֹם

to,the_people_of ʼEdōm

The psalmist is speaking as if the people of the tribe of Esau were actually the sons of Edom, another name for Esau. Alternate translation: [the descendants of Esau] or [the people of Edom]

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / idiom

אֵת֮ י֤וֹם יְֽרוּשָׁ֫לִָ֥ם

DOM day (Some words not found in UHB: remember YHWH to,the_people_of ʼEdōm DOM day Yərūshālam/(Jerusalem) [who,were]_saying tear_~_down tear_~_down until the,foundation in,it )

The psalmist is using the day of Jerusalem as a common expression of the culture to mean the time when Jerusalem was destroyed. 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: [what happened to Jerusalem] or [the destruction of Jerusalem]

Note 3 topic: writing-poetry

עָ֤רוּ ׀ עָ֑רוּ

tear_~_down tear_~_down

The psalmist is using repetition of the phrase lay bare for poetic effect. You may want to reproduce this effect if poetry in your language does this. If not, your language may have another way of expressing the intensification. Alternate translation: [Completely demolish]
