PSA 52:6 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 / nominaladj

וְ⁠יִרְא֖וּ צַדִּיקִ֥ים

and,they_will_see (Some words not found in UHB: and,they_will_see righteous and,they_will_fear and,on,him laugh )

David is using the adjective righteous as a noun to mean a certain kind of person. Your language may use adjectives in the same way. If not, you can translate this adjective with an equivalent phrase. Alternate translation: [And righteous people]

Note 2 topic: writing-pronouns

וְ⁠עָלָ֥י⁠ו

and,on,him

Since David has been addressing Doeg directly (even though he cannot hear him) to show that he feels strongly about what he did, you may wish to use the pronoun “you” here instead of the pronoun him. However, there is poetic effect in the change of pronoun. David describes in the previous verse how God will destroy Doeg, and in this verse it is as if that has already happened, so that Doeg is no longer around to address directly. Use the pronoun that will be most natural and effective in your language.
