PSA 22:6 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: figures-of-speech / metaphor

וְ⁠אָנֹכִ֣י תוֹלַ֣עַת וְ⁠לֹא־אִ֑ישׁ

and,I worm and=not (a)_man

Here David is speaking of himself as if he were a worm. He means that other people treat him as if he were worthless and do not care if he lives or not. If it would be helpful, you could use a comparable expression from your language or state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: [But I am treated as if I were a worthless worm and not a human]

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

חֶרְפַּ֥ת אָ֝דָ֗ם

(Some words not found in UHB: and,I worm and=not (a)_man scorned_of humankind and,despised_of people )

By a reproach of mankind, David means that he has become someone whom all people mock and shame. You could indicate this explicitly in your translation if that would be helpful to your readers. Alternate translation: [someone whom people mock] or [an object of shame to everyone]

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / activepassive

וּ⁠בְז֥וּי עָֽם

and,despised_of people

The expression despised by the people is a passive verbal form. If it would be unnatural to use that form, you could express the idea in active form or in another way that is natural in your language. Alternate translation: [and the people despise me]
