PSA 44:24 Parallel Verse View

Note: This view shows ‘verses’ which are not 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 / ellipsis

לָֽ⁠מָּה־פָנֶ֥י⁠ךָ תַסְתִּ֑יר תִּשְׁכַּ֖ח עָנְיֵ֣⁠נוּ וְֽ⁠לַחֲצֵֽ⁠נוּ

(Some words not found in UHB: awake, to/for=what sleep my=master awake, not reject to,perpetuity )

The psalmist 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: [Why do you hide your face, and why do you forget our affliction and our oppression]

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / rquestion

לָֽ⁠מָּה־פָנֶ֥י⁠ךָ תַסְתִּ֑יר תִּשְׁכַּ֖ח עָנְיֵ֣⁠נוּ וְֽ⁠לַחֲצֵֽ⁠נוּ

(Some words not found in UHB: awake, to/for=what sleep my=master awake, not reject to,perpetuity )

As in the previous verse, the psalmist is using the question form as a rebuke. If a speaker of your language would not use the question form for that purpose, you could translate this as a statement or as an exclamation. Alternate translation: [You should not hide your face, and you should not forget our affliction and our oppression!]

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

לָֽ⁠מָּה־פָנֶ֥י⁠ךָ תַסְתִּ֑יר תִּשְׁכַּ֖ח

(Some words not found in UHB: awake, to/for=what sleep my=master awake, not reject to,perpetuity )

The psalmist is speaking as if God had actually hidden his face so that the Judeans could not see it. He means that it is as if God had turned his face away from the Judeans rather than looking at them with a bright expression that indicated favor. If it would be helpful in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: [Why do you not regard us with favor] or [Please regard us with favor, and do not forget]

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

תִּשְׁכַּ֖ח

(Some words not found in UHB: awake, to/for=what sleep my=master awake, not reject to,perpetuity )

The psalmist is speaking as if God had once known about the affliction and oppression of the Judeans but had now forgotten about them. If it would be helpful in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: [neglect to do anything about]
