PSA 141:10 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—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 / nominaladj

רְשָׁעִ֑ים

(Some words not found in UHB: fall in,his_own_of,nets wicked alone I while pass_by )

David is using the adjective wicked as a noun to mean a certain kind of person. Your language may use adjectives in the same way. If not, you can translate this adjective with an equivalent phrase. Alternate translation: [wicked people]

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

יִפְּל֣וּ בְ⁠מַכְמֹרָ֣י⁠ו רְשָׁעִ֑ים יַ֥חַד

(Some words not found in UHB: fall in,his_own_of,nets wicked alone I while pass_by )

Here David is speaking as if the punishment that the wicked deserve were nets that they would fall into. Your language may have a comparable expression that you can use in your translation, or you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: [Let the wicked be caught in their own schemes together] or [Let the wicked be ensnared by their own plans altogether]

Note 3 topic: writing-pronouns

בְ⁠מַכְמֹרָ֣י⁠ו

in,his_own_of,nets

The singular pronoun his is used to refer collectively to each of the wicked people. David uses a singular form even though he is speaking of the wicked as a group. It may be helpful to clarify this for your readers. Alternate translation: [together into the nets of the wicked people]

Note 4 topic: writing-pronouns

אָ֝נֹכִ֗י עַֽד־אֶעֱבֽוֹר

I while pass_by

David is stating the pronoun I separately, even though the verb translated as I will cross over already includes this meaning. He is doing that to emphasize that he himself will do something different than wht the wicked will do. If a speaker of your language would use an explicit pronoun for the same purpose, you may want to use that construction in your translation. If not, your language may have other ways of showing the meaning here. Alternate translation: [while I myself cross over]
