PSA 37:5 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 / idiom

גּ֣וֹל עַל־יְהוָ֣ה דַּרְכֶּ֑⁠ךָ

commit on/upon/above/on_account_of//he/it_went_in YHWH (Some words not found in UHB: commit on/upon/above/on_account_of//he/it_went_in YHWH way_of,your and,rely on/upon/above=him/it and=he act )

David is using Roll your way upon Yahweh as a common expression of his culture to mean to turn over or entrust your plans to Yahweh. 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: [Commit your plans to Yahweh]

Note 2 topic: writing-pronouns

וְ⁠ה֣וּא יַעֲשֶֽׂה

and=he (Some words not found in UHB: commit on/upon/above/on_account_of//he/it_went_in YHWH way_of,your and,rely on/upon/above=him/it and=he act )

David is stating the pronoun he separately, even though the verb translated as he will act already includes this meaning. He is doing that to emphasize that Yahweh is the only one who can do this. If a speaker of your language would use an explicit pronoun for the same purpose, you may want to use that construction in your translation. If not, your language may have other ways of showing the meaning here. Alternate translation: [and Yahweh himself will act]
