PSA 13:2 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 / metonymy

בְּ⁠נַפְשִׁ֗⁠י

(Some words not found in UHB: until when? I_will_put/place counsel in,soul_of,my sorrow in,heart_of,my every_day until when? exalted enemy_of,my over,me )

Here, in my soul represents David’s whole self as he experiences emotions. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use an equivalent expression or plain language as in the UST.

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / ellipsis

יָג֣וֹן בִּ⁠לְבָבִ֣⁠י

sorrow (Some words not found in UHB: until when? I_will_put/place counsel in,soul_of,my sorrow in,heart_of,my every_day until when? exalted enemy_of,my over,me )

The psalmist is leaving out some of the words that in many languages a sentence would need in order to be complete. You can supply these words from the context if that would be clearer in your language. Alternate translation: [having sorrow in my heart]

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / abstractnouns

יָג֣וֹן

sorrow

If your language does not use an abstract noun for the idea of sorrow, you could express the same idea in another way. Alternate translation: [feeling sorrowful]

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / metonymy

בִּ⁠לְבָבִ֣⁠י

(Some words not found in UHB: until when? I_will_put/place counsel in,soul_of,my sorrow in,heart_of,my every_day until when? exalted enemy_of,my over,me )

Here the heart represents where a person’s thoughts and feelings exist. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use a comparable expression or state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: [in my thoughts] or [in my inner being]

Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

יוֹמָ֑ם

every_day

The implication is that David was distressed and in anguish throughout the entire daytime. You could include this information if that would be helpful to your readers. Alternate translation: [daily] or [continually]

Note 6 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

יָר֖וּם אֹיְבִ֣⁠י עָלָֽ⁠י

exalted enemy_of,my over,me

By be high over me, the psalmist means that his enemy will defeat him and triumph over him. You could indicate this explicitly in your translation if that would be helpful to your readers. Alternate translation: [will the one being hostile to me be exalted over me]
