PSA 60:7 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.

and,Ephraim helmet_of (Some words not found in UHB: to=me Gilˊād and_[belongs],to,me Mənashsheh and,Ephraim helmet_of my=head Yehuda [is]_my_of,commander's_staff )

If this image communicates well in your language, please use it. If not, you could express this as a comparison. Alternate translation: [Ephraim protects me like a helmet] or [Ephraim is my military defense]

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

וְ֭⁠אֶפְרַיִם

and,Ephraim

The psalmist assumes that readers will know that while Ephraim was the name of one of the sons of Joseph, he and his brother, Manasseh, became patriarchs of two of the twelve tribes of Israel. You could say that explicitly if that would be helpful to your readers. Alternate translation: [And the tribe of Ephraim]

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / metonymy

רֹאשִׁ֑⁠י

(Some words not found in UHB: to=me Gilˊād and_[belongs],to,me Mənashsheh and,Ephraim helmet_of my=head Yehuda [is]_my_of,commander's_staff )

Here, head represents the person himself. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use an equivalent expression or state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: [me]

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

יְ֝הוּדָ֗ה מְחֹֽקְקִ⁠י

Yehuda [is]_my_of,commander's_staff

David is speaking of Judah as if it were my scepter, the symbol of royal authority. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use an equivalent expression from your culture or state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: [Judah, the source of my royal authority] or [Judah, the tribe from which my kingship comes]
