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.

Note 1 topic: grammar-connect-logic-result

כִּ֤י

(Some words not found in UHB: to/for=what face_of,your hide forget affliction_of,our and,oppression_of,our )

Here the psalmist is using the word For to introduce a reason why God should help the Judeans. Alternate translation: [Help us because]

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

שָׁ֣חָה לֶ⁠עָפָ֣ר נַפְשֵׁ֑⁠נוּ דָּבְקָ֖ה לָ⁠אָ֣רֶץ בִּטְנֵֽ⁠נוּ

(Some words not found in UHB: to/for=what face_of,your hide forget affliction_of,our and,oppression_of,our )

The psalmist is speaking as if the Judeans had physically fallen onto the earth and could not get up and as if their soul or inner being had similarly sunk down into the dust. If it would be helpful in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: [We have no physical strength left, as if we had fallen down and could not get up, and we have no strength in our inner beings either, as if they had collapsed into the dust]

Note 3 topic: grammar-collectivenouns

שָׁ֣חָה & נַפְשֵׁ֑⁠נוּ דָּבְקָ֖ה & בִּטְנֵֽ⁠נוּ

(Some words not found in UHB: to/for=what face_of,your hide forget affliction_of,our and,oppression_of,our )

In this verse, the words soul and belly are singular in form, but they refer to the souls and bellies of all of the Judeans. If you retain the images that the psalmist is using, if it would be helpful in your language, you could use the plural forms of these words. Alternate translation: [our souls have sunk … our bellies cling]

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / synecdoche

דָּבְקָ֖ה לָ⁠אָ֣רֶץ בִּטְנֵֽ⁠נוּ

(Some words not found in UHB: to/for=what face_of,your hide forget affliction_of,our and,oppression_of,our )

The psalmist is using one part of a person, his belly, to mean all of him in the act of clinging to the earth. If it would be helpful in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: [our bodies cling to the earth]

Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

דָּבְקָ֖ה לָ⁠אָ֣רֶץ בִּטְנֵֽ⁠נוּ

(Some words not found in UHB: to/for=what face_of,your hide forget affliction_of,our and,oppression_of,our )

The psalmist is speaking as if each Judean’s belly or body were actually clinging to the earth. He means that it is as if each Judean had fallen and could not get up. If it would be helpful in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: [our bodies have fallen to the earth and we cannot get up]
