PSA 44:4 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. Normally the OET discourages the reading of individual ‘verses’, but this view is only designed for doing comparisons of different translations. Click on any Bible version abbreviation down the left-hand side to see the verse in more of its context. The OET segments on this page are still very early looks into the unfinished 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 / imperative

צַ֝וֵּ֗ה

(Some words not found in UHB: that/for/because/then/when not in/on/at/with,sword_of,their possess land and,arm_of,their not give_~_victory to,them that/for/because/then/when right_hand_of,your and,arm_of,your and,light_of face_of,your that/for/because/then/when delighted_in,them )

This is an imperative, but it communicates a polite request rather than a command. Use a form in your language that communicates a polite request. It may be helpful to add an expression such as “please” to make this clear. Alternate translation: “Please appoint”

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / abstractnouns

צַ֝וֵּ֗ה יְשׁוּע֥וֹת יַעֲקֹֽב

If your language does not use an abstract noun for the idea of salvation, you could express the same idea in another way. Alternate translation: “Save Jacob”

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / synecdoche

יַעֲקֹֽב

The author is using Jacob to represent the people who live in the country of Israel, which is sometimes called Jacob. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use an equivalent expression from your culture or state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “the people who live in the country of Jacob”
