PSA 31:7 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 / doublet

אָגִ֥ילָה וְ⁠אֶשְׂמְחָ֗ה

(Some words not found in UHB: hate [those,who]_keep idols_of worthless and,I to/towards YHWH trust )

The terms be glad and rejoice 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: [I will rejoice greatly]

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / abstractnouns

בְּ⁠חַ֫סְדֶּ֥⁠ךָ אֲשֶׁ֣ר רָ֭אִיתָ אֶת־עָנְיִ֑⁠י יָ֝דַ֗עְתָּ בְּ⁠צָר֥וֹת נַפְשִֽׁ⁠י

(Some words not found in UHB: hate [those,who]_keep idols_of worthless and,I to/towards YHWH trust )

If your language does not use abstract nouns for the ideas of covenant faithfulness and affliction, you could express the same ideas in other ways. Alternate translation: [because you are faithful to your covenant, for you have seen how I have suffered; you have known how my soul is troubled]

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / metonymy

בְּ⁠צָר֥וֹת נַפְשִֽׁ⁠י

(Some words not found in UHB: hate [those,who]_keep idols_of worthless and,I to/towards YHWH trust )

David is using the term soul to mean the entire person from the perspective of his spiritual and emotional existence. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use an equivalent expression or plain language. Alternate translation: [the troubles I have experienced] or [my inner distress]
