PSA 48:13 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 / idiom

שִׁ֤יתוּ לִבְּ⁠כֶ֨ם ׀ לְֽ⁠חֵילָ֗⁠ה

(Some words not found in UHB: consider! heart_of,your(pl) to,rampart_of,its go_through fortresses_of,its that tell to,a_generation next )

The psalmist is using put your heart to as a common expression of his culture to mean “carefully consider.” If this phrase does not have that meaning in your language, you could use a comparable expression from your language that does have that meaning, or you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: [keep in mind her rampart] or [carefully consider her rampart]

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / genericnoun

לְֽ⁠חֵילָ֗⁠ה

to,rampart_of,its

The psalmist is not referring to a specific rampart. He means all the ramparts of the walls of Jerusalem. If it would be helpful to your readers, you could use an expression that would be more natural in your language. Alternate translation: [her ramparts]
