PSA 18:7 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:

Note 1 topic: grammar-connect-logic-result

וַ⁠תִּגְעַ֬שׁ וַ⁠תִּרְעַ֨שׁ ׀ הָ⁠אָ֗רֶץ וּ⁠מוֹסְדֵ֣י הָרִ֣ים יִרְגָּ֑זוּ וַ֝⁠יִּתְגָּֽעֲשׁ֗וּ כִּי־חָ֥רָה לֽ⁠וֹ

(Some words not found in UHB: and,it_shook and,it_quaked the=earth/land and_[the],foundations_of mountains trembled and,they_shook_back_and_forth that/for/because/then/when it_glowed/burnt to=him/it )

If it would be more natural in your language, you could reverse the order of these phrases, since the second phrase gives the reason for the result that the first phrase describes. Alternate translation: [Then, because it burned to him, the earth shook and trembled. The foundations of the heavens quaked and shook themselves]

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

וַ⁠תִּגְעַ֬שׁ & הָ⁠אָ֗רֶץ & וַ֝⁠יִּתְגָּֽעֲשׁ֗וּ

The terms that the ULT translates as shook and shook themselves represent two different verbs in the original. Hebrew had more synonyms for this idea than some other languages may have. David expresses some of these with the verbs translated as trembled and quaked. It may be necessary for you to use the same words rather than different ones. However, if you do have a variety of terms for this, it would be appropriate to use different words for shook and shook themselves.

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / doublet

וַ⁠תִּגְעַ֬שׁ וַ⁠תִּרְעַ֨שׁ ׀ הָ⁠אָ֗רֶץ

The terms shook and trembled mean similar things. David is using the two terms together for emphasis. If it would be clearer for your readers, you could express the emphasis with a single phrase. Alternate translation: [Then the earth shook violently]

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / personification

וַ⁠תִּגְעַ֬שׁ וַ⁠תִּרְעַ֨שׁ ׀ הָ⁠אָ֗רֶץ וּ⁠מוֹסְדֵ֣י הָרִ֣ים יִרְגָּ֑זוּ וַ֝⁠יִּתְגָּֽעֲשׁ֗וּ

David is speaking as if the earth and the foundations of the mountains were actually a person who could shake and tremble. This expresses how powerfully God responded to David’s prayer. If it would be helpful in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: [Then it was as though a violent earthquake occurred and shook the earth and the foundations of the mountains]

Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / doublet

יִרְגָּ֑זוּ וַ֝⁠יִּתְגָּֽעֲשׁ֗וּ

The terms quaked and shook themselves mean similar things. David is using the two terms together for emphasis. If it would be clearer for your readers, you could express the emphasis with a single phrase. Alternate translation: [quaked mightily]

Note 6 topic: figures-of-speech / metonymy

חָ֥רָה לֽ⁠וֹ

it_glowed/burnt to=him/it

Here, it burned to him represents his anger. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use an equivalent expression or state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: [he was angry]
