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 / possession

אֵ֤ל ׀ אֱֽלֹהִ֡ים

Mighty_One_of ʼElohīm

Asaph is using a possessive form to express a superlative meaning. If a speaker of your language would not use a possessive form as a superlative, you could express this idea in another way. Alternate translation: [The Supreme God] or [The God who is greater than all other gods]

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / metonymy

אָ֑רֶץ מִ⁠מִּזְרַח־שֶׁ֝֗מֶשׁ עַד־מְבֹאֽ⁠וֹ

earth (Some words not found in UHB: song of,Asaph Mighty_One_of ʼElohīm YHWH he/it_had_said and=he/it_called earth from_[the],rising_of sun until setting_of,its )

Here, the earth represents the people who live on the earth. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use an equivalent expression or plain language. Alternate translation: [the people of the earth from the rising of the sun to its setting]

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / merism

אָ֑רֶץ מִ⁠מִּזְרַח־שֶׁ֝֗מֶשׁ עַד־מְבֹאֽ⁠וֹ

earth (Some words not found in UHB: song of,Asaph Mighty_One_of ʼElohīm YHWH he/it_had_said and=he/it_called earth from_[the],rising_of sun until setting_of,its )

Asaph is referring to the entire earth by naming two extremes, the east, where the sun rises, and the west, where the sun sets. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use an equivalent expression or plain language. Alternate translation: [the people who live everywhere on earth]
