PSA 48:7 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 / yousingular

תְּ֝שַׁבֵּ֗ר

(Some words not found in UHB: with,a_wind_of east shatters ships_of Tarshiysh )

The word you is singular here and through verse 11 because the psalmist is directly addressing Yahweh. So use the singular form in your translation if your language marks that distinction. Alternate translation: [you, Yahweh, shatter]

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / idiom

אֳנִיּ֥וֹת תַּרְשִֽׁישׁ

ships_of (Some words not found in UHB: with,a_wind_of east shatters ships_of Tarshiysh )

The psalmist is using ships of Tarshish as a common expression of his culture to mean “ocean-going ships” or “large, sturdy ships.” 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. If you have already translated the book of 1 Kings, see how you translated the similar expression in [1 Kings 10:22](../1ki/10/22.md). Alternate translation: [ocean-going ships] or [large, sturdy ships]
