PSA 61:4 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: figures-of-speech / parallelism

אָג֣וּרָה בְ֭⁠אָהָלְ⁠ךָ עוֹלָמִ֑ים אֶֽחֱסֶ֨ה בְ⁠סֵ֖תֶר כְּנָפֶ֣י⁠ךָ

dwell in,tent_of,your forever take_refuge in,the_shelter_of (Some words not found in UHB: dwell in,tent_of,your forever take_refuge in,the_shelter_of your_two's_wings_of,your selah )

These two phrases mean basically the same thing. The second emphasizes the meaning of the first by repeating the same idea with different words. Hebrew poetry was based on this kind of repetition, and you may want to show this to your readers by including both phrases in your translation. If it is helpful, you could connect the phrases in a way that shows that the second phrase is repeating the first one, not saying something additional. Alternate translation: [Let me always live in your presence, taking refuge in the shelter of your wings]
