Parallel PSA 22:20

Note: This view shows ‘verses’ which are not 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 / imperative

הַצִּ֣ילָ⁠ה

(Some words not found in UHB: and=you(ms) YHWH not far_off my_strength_of,my to,help_of,my make,haste )

This is an imperative, but it communicates a polite request rather than a command. If the imperative does not communicate a polite request for your readers, then use a form in your language that communicates a polite request. It may be helpful to add an expression such as “please” to make this clear. Alternate translation: [Please deliver]

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / metonymy

מֵ⁠חֶ֣רֶב

(Some words not found in UHB: and=you(ms) YHWH not far_off my_strength_of,my to,help_of,my make,haste )

Here, sword represents “death by violence.” If it would be helpful in your language, you could use an equivalent expression or plain language. Alternate translation: [from death]

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / ellipsis

מִ⁠יַּד & יְחִידָתִֽ⁠י

(Some words not found in UHB: and=you(ms) YHWH not far_off my_strength_of,my to,help_of,my make,haste )

David is leaving out some of the words that in many languages a sentence would need in order to be complete. You can supply these words from the context if that would be clearer in your language. Alternate translation: [deliver my only one from the hand of]

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / idiom

יְחִידָתִֽ⁠י

(Some words not found in UHB: and=you(ms) YHWH not far_off my_strength_of,my to,help_of,my make,haste )

David is using my only one as a common expression of his culture to mean “my precious life” or “my dear life.” 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: [my precious life]

Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / metonymy

מִ⁠יַּד

(Some words not found in UHB: and=you(ms) YHWH not far_off my_strength_of,my to,help_of,my make,haste )

Here, 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: [from the power of]

Note 6 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

כֶּ֝֗לֶב

(Some words not found in UHB: and=you(ms) YHWH not far_off my_strength_of,my to,help_of,my make,haste )

Here David is speaking of his enemies as if they were the dog. This continues the imagery from verse 16 where enemies are described as dogs that have surrounded him. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use a comparable expression or state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: [my enemies]
