PSA 44:11 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 / possession

כְּ⁠צֹ֣אן מַאֲכָ֑ל

(Some words not found in UHB: you,have_made_us like,sheep_of eaten and,among,nations you,have_scattered_us )

The psalmist is using the possessive form to describe sheep that are characterized by being slaughtered and eaten as food. In context, the emphasis seems to be on the slaughtering, as the parallel phrase “sheep of slaughter” in verse 22 indicates. If a speaker of your language would not use the possessive form for this, you could express this idea in another way. Alternate translation: [like sheep that are slaughtered]

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / simile

כְּ⁠צֹ֣אן מַאֲכָ֑ל

(Some words not found in UHB: you,have_made_us like,sheep_of eaten and,among,nations you,have_scattered_us )

The point of this comparison is that just as sheep that people slaughter for food are very vulnerable and easily killed, so the Judeans have become very vulnerable. If it would be helpful in your language, you could make this point explicitly. The point of comparison is the same in verse 22. Alternate translation: [very vulnerable, like sheep that are slaughtered]
