PSA 39:2 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.

Note: Automatic aligning of the OET-RV to the LV is done by some temporary software, hence the OET-RV alignments are incomplete (and may occasionally be wrong).

UTN uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / abstractnouns

ד֭וּמִיָּה

(Some words not found in UHB: mute still held_~_to_no_avail from,good and,pain_of,my grew_worse )

If your language does not use an abstract noun for the idea of silence, you could express the same idea in another way. Alternate translation: [by not saying a word]

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / ellipsis

הֶחֱשֵׁ֣יתִי מִ⁠טּ֑וֹב

(Some words not found in UHB: mute still held_~_to_no_avail from,good and,pain_of,my grew_worse )

David is leaving out some of the words that in many languages a sentence would need in order to be complete. You can supply these words from the context if that would be clearer in your language. Alternate translation: [I refrained from saying anything good]

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / abstractnouns

וּ⁠כְאֵבִ֥⁠י נֶעְכָּֽר

and,pain_of,my (Some words not found in UHB: mute still held_~_to_no_avail from,good and,pain_of,my grew_worse )

If your language does not use an abstract noun for the idea of pain, you could express the same idea in another way. Alternate translation: [and my suffering increased]

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / activepassive

וּ⁠כְאֵבִ֥⁠י נֶעְכָּֽר

and,pain_of,my (Some words not found in UHB: mute still held_~_to_no_avail from,good and,pain_of,my grew_worse )

The expression was stirred up 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: [and my silence only made my pain worse]

Note 5 topic: grammar-connect-logic-contrast

וּ⁠כְאֵבִ֥⁠י

and,pain_of,my

David uses the word and here to indicate a contrast rather than adding information. In your translation, indicate this contrast in a way that is natural in your language. Alternate translation: [but instead, my pain]
