PSA 4:2 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.

(Some words not found in UHB: in/on/at/with,call,I answer,me god_of righteousness_of,my in/on/at/with,distress gave_~_room to/for=me gracious,me and,hear prayer_of,my )

Son of man could refer to: (1) the mortality and finitude of his enemies (as opposed to God’s eternal infinitude), (2) important or wealthy men, (3) the fact that the author is now addressing people rather than God. You could include this information if that would be helpful to your readers. Alternate translation: “You men”

The author is using the question form to rebuke his enemies. If you would not use the question form for this purpose in your language, you could translate these three questions as statements or exclamations. Alternate translation: “stop calling glory shame! Stop loving futility! Stop seeking falsehood!”
