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: figures-of-speech / explicit

תְ֭קַדְּמֶ⁠נּוּ בִּרְכ֣וֹת ט֑וֹב

(Some words not found in UHB: that/for/because/then/when you,meet_him blessings_of good set to,head_of,his crown_of fine_gold )

Here the phrase you meet him could mean: (1) that Yahweh met the king. Alternate translation: [you come to him with good blessings] or [you greet him with excellent blessings], or (2) that Yahweh anticipated what the king needed and was already working ahead of time before the king prayed in order to meet his needs. Alternate translation: [you anticipated his needs and came to him with blessings of good] or [you knew what he needed and met him with blessings of good]

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

בִּרְכ֣וֹת ט֑וֹב

(Some words not found in UHB: that/for/because/then/when you,meet_him blessings_of good set to,head_of,his crown_of fine_gold )

The implication is that God blesses the king with good things. You could include this information if that would be helpful to your readers. Alternate translation: [with good blessings] or [with excellent blessings]

Note 3 topic: writing-poetry

בִּרְכ֣וֹת ט֑וֹב

(Some words not found in UHB: that/for/because/then/when you,meet_him blessings_of good set to,head_of,his crown_of fine_gold )

This is poetic language. If your language has a way to indicate poetry, you could use it here. Alternate translation: [with rich blessings]

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

תָּשִׁ֥ית

(Some words not found in UHB: that/for/because/then/when you,meet_him blessings_of good set to,head_of,his crown_of fine_gold )

David assumes that readers will know that Yahweh himself did not physically place a crown on David’s head but rather chose him to be king and had people crown him as king by placing a crown on his head. You could say that explicitly if that would be helpful to your readers. Alternate translation: [you cause to be placed]

Note 5 topic: translate-symaction

תָּשִׁ֥ית לְ֝⁠רֹאשׁ֗⁠וֹ עֲטֶ֣רֶת פָּֽז

(Some words not found in UHB: that/for/because/then/when you,meet_him blessings_of good set to,head_of,his crown_of fine_gold )

Placing a crown on the king’s head was a symbolic action by which God showed that he was establishing the king in his royal authority and giving him honor. If it would be helpful to your readers, you could explain the significance of this action in the text of your translation or in a footnote. Alternate translation: [you place on his head a crown of refined gold, showing that you have established him as king]
