PSA 50:19 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.

פִּ֭י⁠ךָ שָׁלַ֣חְתָּ בְ⁠רָעָ֑ה

(Some words not found in UHB: mouth_of,your give_~_freerein in,evil and,tongue_of,your harness deceit )

God is using the term send in a specific sense to mean “release” or “set free,” as in [Deuteronomy 15:12](../deu/15/12.md). You could indicate this explicitly in your translation if that would be helpful to your readers. Alternate translation: [You release your mouth in evil]

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / personification

פִּ֭י⁠ךָ שָׁלַ֣חְתָּ בְ⁠רָעָ֑ה

(Some words not found in UHB: mouth_of,your give_~_freerein in,evil and,tongue_of,your harness deceit )

God is speaking of this wicked person’s mouth as if it were itself a person that the wicked one could send away or release. If it would be helpful in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: [You say evil things without restraint]

If it would be helpful in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: [and you make up deceitful things to say]
