PSA 57:8 Parallel Verse View

Note: This view shows ‘verses’ which are not natural language units and hence sometimes only part of a sentence will be visible. Normally the OET discourages the reading of individual ‘verses’, but this view is only designed for doing comparisons of different translations. Click on any Bible version abbreviation down the left-hand side to see the verse in more of its context. The OET segments on this page are still very early looks into the unfinished 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 / explicit

Wake up, my honored heart

(Some words not found in UHB: steadfast heart_of,my ʼElohīm steadfast heart_of,my sing and,sing_praises )

It can be stated clearly that the purpose of waking up is to sing praises to God. Waking up may be a metaphor for starting or preparing to do something. The heart represents the psalmist or his emotions. Alternate translation: “Wake up, my honored heart, to sing praises to God” or “I will prepare my honored heart to sing praises to God” or “I am honored to wake up and sing praises to God” (See also: figs-metaphor and figs-synecdoche)

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

wake up, lute and harp

(Some words not found in UHB: steadfast heart_of,my ʼElohīm steadfast heart_of,my sing and,sing_praises )

It can be stated clearly that the purpose of waking up is to sing praises to God. The psalmist speaks as though the lute and harp were people who could wake up to sing praises to God. Alternate translation: “Wake up, lute and harp, and sing praises to God” or “I will play the lute and harp while I sing praises to God” (See also: figs-personification and figs-metaphor)

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / personification

I will wake up the dawn

(Some words not found in UHB: steadfast heart_of,my ʼElohīm steadfast heart_of,my sing and,sing_praises )

The dawn is spoken of as if it were alive, and getting up before dawn happens is spoken of as waking it up. The purpose of getting up before dawn is to praise God. Alternate translation: “I will get up before dawn” or “I will get up before the sun rises” (See also: figs-metaphor and figs-explicit)
