PSA 18:36 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.

UTN uW Translation Notes:

(Some words not found in UHB: gave_~_awide_place step[s]_of,my under,me and=not slip ankles_of,my )

Here David’s step represents the place where he would step. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use an equivalent expression or plain language. Alternate translation: [You enlarge the place where I step under me]

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

תַּרְחִ֣יב צַעֲדִ֣⁠י תַחְתָּ֑⁠י

(Some words not found in UHB: gave_~_awide_place step[s]_of,my under,me and=not slip ankles_of,my )

David is speaking as if God had made the area where he needed to walk more spacious. This represents having freedom to move and act without being constrained by enemies. Your language may have a comparable expression that you can use in your translation. You could also use plain language. Alternate translation: [You give me room to maneuver]
