PSA 27:9 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.

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / imperative

אַל־תַּסְתֵּ֬ר פָּנֶ֨י⁠ךָ ׀ מִמֶּ⁠נִּי֮ אַֽל־תַּט־בְּ⁠אַ֗ף עַ֫בְדֶּ֥⁠ךָ & אַֽל־תִּטְּשֵׁ֥⁠נִי וְ⁠אַל־תַּֽ֝עַזְבֵ֗⁠נִי

not (Some words not found in UHB: not hide face_of,your from,me not turn_~_away in,anger servant_of,your help_of,my been not abandon,me and,do_not forsake,me god_of my_salvation_of,my )

These are imperatives, but they communicate polite requests rather than commands. If the imperatives do not communicate polite requests for your readers, then use a form in your language that communicates polite requests. It may be helpful to add an expression such as “please” to make this clear. Alternate translation: [Please do not hide your face from me; please do not turn your servant away in anger … Please do not abandon me or leave me]

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / idiom

אַל־תַּסְתֵּ֬ר פָּנֶ֨י⁠ךָ ׀ מִמֶּ⁠נִּי֮

not (Some words not found in UHB: not hide face_of,your from,me not turn_~_away in,anger servant_of,your help_of,my been not abandon,me and,do_not forsake,me god_of my_salvation_of,my )

David is using hide your face as a common expression of his culture to mean “reject me” or “turn away from me.” 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: [Do not reject me] or [Do not turn away from me]

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / doublet

אַֽל־תִּטְּשֵׁ֥⁠נִי וְ⁠אַל־תַּֽ֝עַזְבֵ֗⁠נִי

The terms abandon and leave mean similar things. David is using the two terms together for emphasis. If it would be clearer for your readers, you could express the emphasis with a single phrase. Alternate translation: [Do not forsake me]

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / possession

אֱלֹהֵ֥י יִשְׁעִֽ⁠י

See how you translated the phrase “God of my salvation” in [18:46](../018/046.md) where it occurs with the same meaning. Alternate translation: [the God who saves me]
