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.

UTN uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / simile

כַּ⁠צֹּ֤אן

(Some words not found in UHB: this way_of,[is]_their foolish [belongs]_to,them and,after,them in,mouth_of,their approve selah )

The point of this comparison is that just as sheep are vulnerable and easily killed, so these rich people are vulnerable to dying. If it would be helpful in your language, you could make this point explicitly. Alternate translation: [As if they were vulnerable sheep]

Note 2 topic: writing-pronouns

שַׁתּוּ֮

(Some words not found in UHB: this way_of,[is]_their foolish [belongs]_to,them and,after,them in,mouth_of,their approve selah )

Here the psalmist is using the pronoun They in a general sense, not to refer to specific people. Use an expression for this that would be natural in your language. If you need to say specifically who does the action, the context in the next verse indicates that it is God. Alternate translation: [They are appointed] or [God appoints them]

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / personification

מָ֤וֶת יִ֫רְעֵ֥⁠ם

(Some words not found in UHB: this way_of,[is]_their foolish [belongs]_to,them and,after,them in,mouth_of,their approve selah )

The psalmist is speaking of death as if it were a living thing that could shepherd these people. He means that just as a shepherd keeps all of his sheep under his control so that none wander away, none of these people will get away from the realm of the dead. If it would be helpful in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. (However, since the image of a shepherd here extends the image of sheep earlier in the verse, you may wish to express both images as comparisons. The UST models one way to do that.) Alternate translation: [they will not get away from the realm of the dead]

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

וַ⁠יִּרְדּ֘וּ בָ֤⁠ם יְשָׁרִ֨ים ׀ לַ⁠בֹּ֗קֶר

(Some words not found in UHB: this way_of,[is]_their foolish [belongs]_to,them and,after,them in,mouth_of,their approve selah )

The psalmist is speaking as if the upright were going to rule in the morning on a certain day over rich people who had been wicked. He means that the “days of evil” (that is, the troubled times) that he began describing in verse 5, pictured here as a dark night, will surely end as God delivers innocent people from oppression. If it would be helpful in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. See how you translated the similar expression in [46:5](../046/005.md). Alternate translation: [And when God delivers the upright from their oppression, they will rule over them]

Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / nominaladj

יְשָׁרִ֨ים

(Some words not found in UHB: this way_of,[is]_their foolish [belongs]_to,them and,after,them in,mouth_of,their approve selah )

The psalmist is using the adjective upright as a noun to mean a certain kind of person. Your language may use adjectives in the same way. If not, you can translate this adjective with an equivalent phrase. Alternate translation: [upright people]

Note 6 topic: figures-of-speech / personification

וְ֭צוּרָם לְ⁠בַלּ֥וֹת שְׁא֗וֹל

(Some words not found in UHB: this way_of,[is]_their foolish [belongs]_to,them and,after,them in,mouth_of,their approve selah )

The psalmist is speaking of Sheol as if it were a living thing that could consume the form or body of a person. If it would be helpful in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: [and their body will decompose in the grave]

Note 7 topic: grammar-collectivenouns

וְ֭צוּרָם

(Some words not found in UHB: this way_of,[is]_their foolish [belongs]_to,them and,after,them in,mouth_of,their approve selah )

In this verse, the word form is singular in form, but it refers to the forms or bodies of these wicked people as a group. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use the plural form of “form.” Alternate translation: [their forms] or [their bodies]

Note 8 topic: writing-pronouns

מִ⁠זְּבֻ֥ל לֽ⁠וֹ

(Some words not found in UHB: this way_of,[is]_their foolish [belongs]_to,them and,after,them in,mouth_of,their approve selah )

The pronoun it refers to the form of each wicked person. It may be helpful to clarify this for your readers. Alternate translation: [from its dwelling] or [away from where they lived]
