PSA 34:20 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: writing-pronouns

שֹׁמֵ֥ר כָּל־עַצְמוֹתָ֑י⁠ו

(Some words not found in UHB: he/it_was_watching all/each/any/every bones_of,his one(fs) of,them not broken )

Here, He refers to Yahweh, and his refers to the righteous person. It may be helpful to clarify this for your readers. Alternate translation: [Yahweh is guarding all of the righteous person’s bones]

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / synecdoche

כָּל־עַצְמוֹתָ֑י⁠ו

(Some words not found in UHB: he/it_was_watching all/each/any/every bones_of,his one(fs) of,them not broken )

David is using one part of the body, his bones, to mean the whole physical body of the righteous person. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use an equivalent expression or plain language. Alternate translation: [his physical body]

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / activepassive

אַחַ֥ת מֵ֝⁠הֵ֗נָּה לֹ֣א נִשְׁבָּֽרָה

one(fs) (Some words not found in UHB: he/it_was_watching all/each/any/every bones_of,his one(fs) of,them not broken )

The expression is broken is a passive verbal form. If it would be unnatural to use that form, you could express the idea in active form or in another way that is natural in your language. Alternate translation: [nothing breaks any one of them]
