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.

TSNTyndale Study Notes:

Ps 14 This wisdom psalm contains some characteristics of lament and prophetic speech. The ideals of Ps 8 have run aground on the reality of foolish human attitudes and sinful actions. With the exception of vv 5-6, this psalm parallels Ps 53.


UTNuW Translation Notes:

children of mankind

(Some words not found in UHB: YHWH from,heaven looks_down on/upon sons_of humankind to=see if,there_are understand seek_after DOM ʼElohīm )

This phrase refers to all humans.

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

who seek after him

(Some words not found in UHB: YHWH from,heaven looks_down on/upon sons_of humankind to=see if,there_are understand seek_after DOM ʼElohīm )

This describes those who desire to know God as if they were actually following him on a path. Alternate translation: “who desire to know him”
