PSA 59:6 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: writing-pronouns

יָשׁ֣וּבוּ

return

The pronoun They refers to the enemies introduced in verses 1–3. It may be helpful to clarify this for your readers. Alternate translation: [The psalmist’s enemies return]

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / simile

יֶהֱמ֥וּ כַ⁠כָּ֗לֶב

snarling (Some words not found in UHB: return to,evening snarling like,dog and,they_go_around (a)_city )

The point of this comparison is that just as a dog is threatening and aggressive, so are the psalmist’s enemies. If it would be helpful in your language, you could make this point explicitly. Alternate translation: [they make threatening sounds] or [they snarl aggressively]

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

וִ⁠יס֥וֹבְבוּ עִֽיר

and,they_go_around (a)_city

By go around the city, the psalmist means that David’s enemies are roaming around Jerusalem looking for victims. You could indicate this explicitly in your translation if that would be helpful to your readers. Alternate translation: [roam around the city looking for prey] or [prowl around the city seeking victims]
