PSA 20:7 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.

(Some words not found in UHB: these (in,chariotry and=these (in,horses and,we in/on=name_of YHWH God_of,our boast )

David is using These in chariots and these in horses as a common expression of his culture to mean “Some trust in chariots and some in horses” or “Some trust in chariots and others in horses.” If this phrase does not have that meaning for your readers, you could use a comparable expression from your language that does have that meaning, or you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: [Some in chariots and some in horses] or [Some trust in chariots and others trust in horses]
