PSA 4:5 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 / abstractnouns

זִבְחֵי־צֶ֑דֶק

sacrifices_of right

If your language does not use an abstract noun for the idea of righteousness, you could express the same idea in another way. Alternate translation: [sacrifices that are righteous]

Note 2 topic: writing-poetry

צֶ֑דֶק וּ֝⁠בִטְח֗וּ

right and,trust

The words righteousness and trust form the poetic center of this psalm. Righteousness is mentioned in [verse 1](../004/001.md) and trust is the same word translated as “securely” in [verse 8](../004/008.md). You may wish to explore whether you can reflect this symmetry in a natural way in your language.
