PSA 60:8 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—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: figures-of-speech / metaphor

מוֹאָ֤ב ׀ סִ֬יר רַחְצִ֗⁠י

(Some words not found in UHB: ʼElohīm he/it_had_said in,sanctuary_of,his exultation divide_up Shekem and,the_Valley_of Şukkōt portion_out )

David is speaking of Moab as if it were the tub of his washing, a basin used by a servant to wash his master’s feet. This image expresses that Moab has been reduced to servant status under God’s 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: [Moab is my servant] or [I will make Moab serve me like a slave]

Note 2 topic: translate-symaction

עַל־אֱ֭דוֹם אַשְׁלִ֣יךְ נַעֲלִ֑⁠י

(Some words not found in UHB: ʼElohīm he/it_had_said in,sanctuary_of,his exultation divide_up Shekem and,the_Valley_of Şukkōt portion_out )

Throwing a sandal over Edom was a symbolic action by which the psalmist showed that God was claiming ownership and dominion over that nation. If it would be helpful to your readers, you could explain the significance of this action in the text of your translation or in a footnote. Alternate translation: [I claim Edom as my own by throwing my sandal over it]

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / apostrophe

עָ֝לַ֗⁠י פְּלֶ֣שֶׁת הִתְרֹעָֽעִֽי

(Some words not found in UHB: ʼElohīm he/it_had_said in,sanctuary_of,his exultation divide_up Shekem and,the_Valley_of Şukkōt portion_out )

The psalmist is speaking to Philistia, which he knows cannot hear him. He is doing this to communicate to the people listening to him that he feels very strongly about God’s power over the Philistines. If it would be helpful in your language, you could translate these words as if he were speaking directly to the people about Philistia. Alternate translation: [Philistia will shout triumphantly over me] or [Let Philistia shout triumphantly over me]

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / irony

הִתְרֹעָֽעִֽי

(Some words not found in UHB: ʼElohīm he/it_had_said in,sanctuary_of,his exultation divide_up Shekem and,the_Valley_of Şukkōt portion_out )

The psalmist actually means to communicate the opposite of the literal meaning of what he is saying here. If a speaker of your language would not do that, you could translate the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: [you have nothing to shout about]
