PSA 38:2 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.

(Some words not found in UHB: that/for/because/then/when arrows_of,your sunk (in),me and,it_has_come_down on,me hand_of,your )

David is speaking of Yahweh’s punishment as if it were arrows that had pierced him and sunk into his flesh. Your language may have a comparable expression that you can use in your translation, or you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: [your punishment has wounded me deeply]

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / idiom

וַ⁠תִּנְחַ֖ת עָלַ֣⁠י יָדֶֽ⁠ךָ

(Some words not found in UHB: that/for/because/then/when arrows_of,your sunk (in),me and,it_has_come_down on,me hand_of,your )

David is using your hand as part of a common expression of his culture as seen in [Psalm 32:4](../032/004.md), “your hand was heavy upon me” to mean that Yahweh has afflicted or disciplined him severely. If this phrase does not have that meaning in your language, you could use a comparable expression from your language that does have that meaning, or you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: [and you have afflicted me]
