PSA 25:6 Parallel Verse View

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 / explicit

זְכֹר־רַחֲמֶ֣י⁠ךָ יְ֭הוָה וַ⁠חֲסָדֶ֑י⁠ךָ

remember compassion(s)_of,your YHWH and,your(pl)_covenant_of,loyalti(es)

David assumes that readers will know that when he asks God to Remember his compassion and covenant faithfulness, he is asking God to act according to these qualities, not simply to recall them mentally. You could say that explicitly if that would be helpful to your readers. Alternate translation: [Act according to your compassion, Yahweh, and your covenant faithfulness]

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / imperative

זְכֹר־רַחֲמֶ֣י⁠ךָ יְ֭הוָה וַ⁠חֲסָדֶ֑י⁠ךָ

remember compassion(s)_of,your YHWH and,your(pl)_covenant_of,loyalti(es)

The word translated as Remember 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 remember your compassion, Yahweh, and your covenant faithfulness]

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / abstractnouns

זְכֹר־רַחֲמֶ֣י⁠ךָ יְ֭הוָה וַ⁠חֲסָדֶ֑י⁠ךָ

remember compassion(s)_of,your YHWH and,your(pl)_covenant_of,loyalti(es)

If your language does not use abstract nouns for the ideas of compassion and covenant faithfulness, you could express the same ideas in other ways. Alternate translation: [Remember how you are compassionate, Yahweh, and how you are faithful to your covenant] or [Remember to be compassionate, Yahweh, and to be faithful to your covenant]

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

מֵ⁠עוֹלָ֣ם הֵֽמָּה

from=long_ago/eternity (Some words not found in UHB: remember compassion(s)_of,your YHWH and,your(pl)_covenant_of,loyalti(es) that/for/because/then/when from=long_ago/eternity they(emph) )

The implication is that God has always been compassionate and faithful, not just recently. You could include this information if that would be helpful to your readers. Alternate translation: [you have acted with compassion and covenant faithfulness since ancient times]
