PSA 39:13 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: turn_~_gazeaway from,me so,that_I_may_be_cheerful before,before depart and,I_[will],not_[be] )

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / euphemism

אֵלֵ֣ךְ וְ⁠אֵינֶֽ⁠נִּי

depart (Some words not found in UHB: turn_~_gazeaway from,me so,that_I_may_be_cheerful before,before depart and,I_[will],not_[be] )

David is referring to dying in a polite way by using the phrase I go and I am no more. Depending on what is helpful for your readers, you could use a polite way of referring to this in your language, or you could state this plainly. Alternate translation: [I pass away]
