PSA 18:35 Parallel Verse View

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.

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / abstractnouns

וַ⁠תִּתֶּן־לִ⁠י֮ מָגֵ֪ן יִ֫שְׁעֶ֥⁠ךָ

(Some words not found in UHB: and,you_have_given to=me shield_of your_salvation_of,your and,your_right_of,hand it,supports_me and,humility_of,your you,make_me_great )

If your language does not use an abstract noun for the idea of salvation, you could express the same idea in another way. Alternate translation: [And the shield you provide for me saves me]

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

וַ⁠תִּתֶּן־לִ⁠י֮ מָגֵ֪ן יִ֫שְׁעֶ֥⁠ךָ

(Some words not found in UHB: and,you_have_given to=me shield_of your_salvation_of,your and,your_right_of,hand it,supports_me and,humility_of,your you,make_me_great )

Here David is speaking of God’s power to save him as if it were a shield that could protect him from physical attacks. If it would be helpful in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: [And you protect me by saving me]

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / metonymy

וִֽ⁠ימִינְ⁠ךָ֥

and,your_right_of,hand

Here, right hand represents the power of a person. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use an equivalent expression or state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: [and your power]

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

וְֽ⁠עַנְוַתְ⁠ךָ֥

and,humility_of,your

By your humility, David means God’s humbleness in responding to his prayers requesting help. Because God was much greater and more powerful than David, David views God’s response to his prayers as an act of humility. You could indicate this explicitly in your translation if that would be helpful to your readers. Alternate translation: [and your answer to my prayers] or [and your humble answer to my prayers]
