PSA 17:2 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 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 / metaphor

Let my vindication come from your presence

(Some words not found in UHB: from,before,presence_of,you vindication_of,my come eyes_of,your see right )

Vindication coming from God represents God judging someone and declaring him innocent. God’s “presence” is a metonym for God himself. Alternate translation: “Let my vindication come from you” or “Declare that I am innocent” (See also: figs-metonymy)

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / synecdoche

let your eyes see what is right!

(Some words not found in UHB: from,before,presence_of,you vindication_of,my come eyes_of,your see right )

Here “your eyes” is synecdoche for God himself, and “see” is a metaphor for paying attention and firmly deciding to do something. Alternate translation: “please see what is right” or “do what is right” (See also: figs-metaphor)
