PSA 65:7 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 / parallelism

שְׁא֣וֹן יַ֭מִּים שְׁא֥וֹן גַּלֵּי⁠הֶ֗ם

(Some words not found in UHB: established mountains by,strength_of,his girded with,might )

These two phrases the roar of the seas and the roar of their waves 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: [the roar of the seas, yes, the roar of their waves] or [the roaring seas and their waves]

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / doublet

שְׁא֣וֹן יַ֭מִּים שְׁא֥וֹן גַּלֵּי⁠הֶ֗ם

(Some words not found in UHB: established mountains by,strength_of,his girded with,might )

The terms the roar of the seas and the roar of their waves mean similar things. The psalmist is using the two terms together for emphasis. If it would be clearer for your readers, you could express the emphasis with a single phrase. Alternate translation: [the loud roaring of the seas]

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

וַ⁠הֲמ֥וֹן לְאֻמִּֽים

(Some words not found in UHB: established mountains by,strength_of,his girded with,might )

The psalmist is speaking of the tumult of the peoples as if it were roaring like chaotic seas. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use an equivalent expression or state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: [the unrest of the nations] or [the agitation of the peoples]

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / parallelism

שְׁא֣וֹן יַ֭מִּים & וַ⁠הֲמ֥וֹן לְאֻמִּֽים

(Some words not found in UHB: established mountains by,strength_of,his girded with,might )

The phrases the roar of the seas and the tumult of the peoples mean basically the same thing. The psalmist is speaking of the peoples as if they were seas, comparing the noise and chaos of nations to crashing waves. The second phrase 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: [the roar of the seas, that is, the tumult of the peoples]
