PSA 64:8 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 / metaphor

They will be made to stumble

(Some words not found in UHB: and,shoot,them ʼElohīm arrow suddenly they_were wounded_of,them )

The writer speaks of God’s causing the evildoers’ plans to fail as if God were making them stumble in their paths. If your language does not use the passive form in this way, you can state this in active form or in another way that is natural in your language. Alternate translation: “God will make them stumble” or “God will cause their plans to fail” (See also: figs-activepassive)

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / metonymy

since their own tongues are against them

(Some words not found in UHB: and,shoot,them ʼElohīm arrow suddenly they_were wounded_of,them )

Here “tongues” represents the words that they say. Alternate translation: “since the words that they say are against them”
