PSA 16:13 — alternate verse numbering

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 / imperative

קוּמָ֤⁠ה יְהוָ֗ה קַדְּמָ֣⁠ה פָ֭נָי⁠ו הַכְרִיעֵ֑⁠הוּ פַּלְּטָ֥⁠ה נַ֝פְשִׁ֗⁠י

arise, YHWH (Some words not found in UHB: arise, YHWH confront, face_of,his make,him_bow_down deliver, life_of,my from_[the],wicked sword_of,your )

Here David is using imperative forms Arise, confront, make him bow down, and Rescue to communicate polite requests to God rather than commands. If the imperative does not communicate a polite request for your readers, then use a form in your language that communicates a polite request. It may be helpful to add an expression such as “please” to make this clear. Alternate translation: [Please arise, Yahweh, please confront his face, please make him bow down! Please rescue my soul]

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / metonymy

קַדְּמָ֣⁠ה פָ֭נָי⁠ו

(Some words not found in UHB: arise, YHWH confront, face_of,his make,him_bow_down deliver, life_of,my from_[the],wicked sword_of,your )

Here, his face represents his presence or confronting him directly. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use an equivalent expression or plain language. Alternate translation: [confront him directly] or [face him in battle]

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

הַכְרִיעֵ֑⁠הוּ

make,him_bow_down

By make him bow down David means “throw him to the ground” or “cause him to fall to the ground” and probably means “fall to the ground dead.” You could indicate this explicitly in your translation if that would be helpful to your readers. Alternate translation: [make him fall down dead] or [cause him to fall to the ground defeated]

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / synecdoche

נַ֝פְשִׁ֗⁠י

(Some words not found in UHB: arise, YHWH confront, face_of,his make,him_bow_down deliver, life_of,my from_[the],wicked sword_of,your )

David is using one part of a person, his soul, to mean all of him in the act of being rescued. If it would be helpful in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: [me]

Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / nominaladj

מֵ⁠רָשָׁ֥ע

(Some words not found in UHB: arise, YHWH confront, face_of,his make,him_bow_down deliver, life_of,my from_[the],wicked sword_of,your )

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: [from wicked people] or [from wicked men]

Note 6 topic: figures-of-speech / metonymy

חַרְבֶּֽ⁠ךָ

(Some words not found in UHB: arise, YHWH confront, face_of,his make,him_bow_down deliver, life_of,my from_[the],wicked sword_of,your )

Here, sword represents power or strength used for powerful, violent action. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use an equivalent expression or state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: [with your power]
