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.

Instead, you could use a general expression. Alternate translation: [Fragrant spices]

Note 3 topic: translate-plural

The psalmist is using the plural palaces where he could have used the singular form. This suggests that he is using the plural form to emphasize the vast extent of the king’s palace complex, which may include several buildings. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use the singular and express the emphasis in another way. Alternate translation: [your vast palace of]
