PSA 53:9 — alternate verse numbering

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.

כִּ֣י

(Some words not found in UHB: that/for/because/then/when from=all trouble he,has_delivered_me and,on,enemies_of,my looked eye_of,my )

Here the word For does not introduce the reason why David is going to praise Yahweh and sacrifice to him. It introduces an explanation of why David is going to be able to do that. Use a connecting word or phrase in your language that will make this clear. Alternate translation: [After all,]

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / synecdoche

וּ֝⁠בְ⁠אֹיְבַ֗⁠י רָאֲתָ֥ה עֵינִֽ⁠י

and,on,enemies_of,my looked eye_of,my

David is using one part himself, his eye, to mean all of him in the act of looking upon his enemies. If it would be helpful in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: [and I look at my enemies] or [and I personally see my enemies]

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

וּ֝⁠בְ⁠אֹיְבַ֗⁠י רָאֲתָ֥ה עֵינִֽ⁠י

and,on,enemies_of,my looked eye_of,my

David means specifically that he sees that Yahweh has defeated his enemies. You could indicate this explicitly in your translation if that would be helpful to your readers. Alternate translation: [and I personally see that Yahweh has defeated my enemies]
