PSA 146:4 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 / euphemism

When a person’s life’s breath stops

(Some words not found in UHB: departs his/its=breath/wind/spirit returns to,earth_of,his in_the=day (the)=that perish plans_of,his )

This is a polite way to refer to someone dying. Alternate translation: “When a person dies”

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

he returns to the ground

(Some words not found in UHB: departs his/its=breath/wind/spirit returns to,earth_of,his in_the=day (the)=that perish plans_of,his )

This means that just as God made the first human, Adam, from the soil, so will a person’s body decay and become soil again when he dies.
