PSA 56:9 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: grammar-connect-logic-result

אָ֥֨ז יָ֘שׁ֤וּבוּ אוֹיְבַ֣⁠י אָ֭חוֹר בְּ⁠י֣וֹם אֶקְרָ֑א

then retreat enemies_of,my back (Some words not found in UHB: then retreat enemies_of,my back in/on=day call this I_know that/for/because/then/when ʼElohīm to=me )

If it would be more natural in your language, you could reverse the order of these phrases, since the second phrase gives the reason for the result that the first phrase describes. Alternate translation: [On the day I call, then my enemies will turn back]

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / idiom

אָ֥֨ז יָ֘שׁ֤וּבוּ אוֹיְבַ֣⁠י אָ֭חוֹר בְּ⁠י֣וֹם אֶקְרָ֑א

then retreat enemies_of,my back (Some words not found in UHB: then retreat enemies_of,my back in/on=day call this I_know that/for/because/then/when ʼElohīm to=me )

See how you translated the similar expression “The day” in verse 3. Alternate translation: [When I call, then my enemies will turn back]

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / explicitinfo

אָ֥֨ז יָ֘שׁ֤וּבוּ אוֹיְבַ֣⁠י אָ֭חוֹר בְּ⁠י֣וֹם אֶקְרָ֑א

then retreat enemies_of,my back (Some words not found in UHB: then retreat enemies_of,my back in/on=day call this I_know that/for/because/then/when ʼElohīm to=me )

David saying both Then and on the day (meaning “when”) for emphasis. However, in some languages this might seem to express extra information in a way that would not be natural. If so, you can use only one of these expressions. Alternate translation: [When I call, my enemies will turn back]

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

אֶקְרָ֑א

call

David means implicitly that he will call to God for help. You could indicate this explicitly in your translation if that would be helpful to your readers. Alternate translation: [I call to you for help]

Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

זֶה־יָ֝דַ֗עְתִּי כִּֽי־אֱלֹהִ֥ים לִֽ⁠י

this (Some words not found in UHB: then retreat enemies_of,my back in/on=day call this I_know that/for/because/then/when ʼElohīm to=me )

The word that the ULT translates as for could introduce: (1) the reason why David knows that what he has just said is true. Alternate translation: [I know this because God is for me] or (2) the content of what David knows. Alternate translation: [This I know, that God is for me]

Note 6 topic: grammar-connect-logic-result
