PSA 29:1 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 / ellipsis

הָב֣וּ לַֽ֭⁠יהוָה בְּנֵ֣י אֵלִ֑ים הָב֥וּ לַ֝⁠יהוָ֗ה כָּב֥וֹד וָ⁠עֹֽז

ascribe (Some words not found in UHB: song of,David ascribe to/for=YHWH sons_of mighty ascribe to/for=YHWH glory and,strength )

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: [Ascribe these things to Yahweh, sons of God, ascribe to Yahweh glory and strength]

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

בְּנֵ֣י אֵלִ֑ים

(Some words not found in UHB: song of,David ascribe to/for=YHWH sons_of mighty ascribe to/for=YHWH glory and,strength )

David assumes that readers will know that sons of God refers to angels or heavenly beings. You could say that explicitly if that would be helpful to your readers. Alternate translation: [you angels]

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / abstractnouns

הָב֥וּ לַ֝⁠יהוָ֗ה כָּב֥וֹד וָ⁠עֹֽז

ascribe to/for=YHWH (Some words not found in UHB: song of,David ascribe to/for=YHWH sons_of mighty ascribe to/for=YHWH glory and,strength )

If your language does not use abstract nouns for the ideas of glory and strength, you could express the same ideas in other ways. Alternate translation: [acknowledge that Yahweh is glorious and strong] or [praise Yahweh because he is glorious and strong]
