PSA 31:15 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 / metonymy

בְּ⁠יָדְ⁠ךָ֥ עִתֹּתָ֑⁠י הַצִּ֘ילֵ֤⁠נִי מִ⁠יַּד

(Some words not found in UHB: and,I on,you trust YHWH say God_of,[are]_my you(ms) )

Here, hand represents the power or control of a person. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use an equivalent expression or state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: [My times are in your control; rescue me from the power of]

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / imperative

הַצִּ֘ילֵ֤⁠נִי

(Some words not found in UHB: and,I on,you trust YHWH say God_of,[are]_my you(ms) )

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 rescue me]

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

עִתֹּתָ֑⁠י

(Some words not found in UHB: and,I on,you trust YHWH say God_of,[are]_my you(ms) )

David assumes that readers will know that My times refers to the events and circumstances of his life, including its duration. You could say that explicitly if that would be helpful to your readers. Alternate translation: [The events of my life] or [My life and circumstances]

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / doublet

א֝וֹיְבַ֗⁠י וּ⁠מֵ⁠רֹדְפָֽ⁠י

(Some words not found in UHB: and,I on,you trust YHWH say God_of,[are]_my you(ms) )

The terms the ones being hostile to me and the ones pursuing me 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: [my relentless enemies]
