PSA 51:9 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 / metaphor

הַסְתֵּ֣ר פָּ֭נֶי⁠ךָ מֵ⁠חֲטָאָ֑⁠י

(Some words not found in UHB: hide face_of,your from,sins_of,my and=all iniquities_of,my blot_out )

David is speaking as if he wanted God to position his face so that it would not be visible from the place where his sins were. Effectively this means that he wants God not to look at his sins. However, he does not mean that he wants God to leave his sins in place but not regard them. He wants God to make his sins nowhere to be seen; that is, he wants God to forgive the sins so that it is as if he had not committed them. Alternate translation: [Make my sins nowhere to be seen]

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

וְֽ⁠כָל־עֲוֺ֖נֹתַ֣⁠י מְחֵֽה

and=all iniquities_of,my blot_out

See how you translated the same image in verse 1. Alternate translation: [and forgive all of my iniquities]
