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 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.

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / metonymy
Listen to my call
(Some words not found in UHB: cry to,you YHWH say you(ms) refuge,my portion,my in=land the=life )
This is a call for help. See how you translated this in Psalms 5:1. Alternate translation: “Listen to me as I call to you now for help”
I have been brought very low
(Some words not found in UHB: cry to,you YHWH say you(ms) refuge,my portion,my in=land the=life )
This could mean: (1) “I am very needy” and (2) “I am very weak.” See how “we are very low” is translated in Psalms 78:8.
