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 / activepassive

בָּר֥וּךְ אֱלֹהִ֑ים

(Some words not found in UHB: blessed ʼElohīm which/who not rejected prayer_of,my and,his_covenant_of,loyalty from,with,me )

The expression Blessed be is a passive verbal form. The psalmist is expressing his desire to praise God. If it would be unnatural to use that form for this purpose, you could express the idea in active form or in another way that is natural in your language. Alternate translation: [Let me praise Yahweh]

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / doublenegatives

אֲשֶׁ֥ר לֹֽא־הֵסִ֘יר תְּפִלָּתִ֥⁠י

(Some words not found in UHB: blessed ʼElohīm which/who not rejected prayer_of,my and,his_covenant_of,loyalty from,with,me )

This is a double negative, consisting of the negative particle not and the negative word for turned away. If it would be clearer in your language, you could use a positive expression to translate this. Alternate translation: [who has certainly accepted my prayer]

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / abstractnouns

תְּפִלָּתִ֥⁠י

(Some words not found in UHB: blessed ʼElohīm which/who not rejected prayer_of,my and,his_covenant_of,loyalty from,with,me )

If your language does not use an abstract noun for the idea of prayer, you could express the same idea in another way. Alternate translation: [my crying to him]

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / ellipsis

וְ֝⁠חַסְדּ֗⁠וֹ מֵ⁠אִתִּֽ⁠י

and,his_covenant_of,loyalty (Some words not found in UHB: blessed ʼElohīm which/who not rejected prayer_of,my and,his_covenant_of,loyalty from,with,me )

The psalmist is leaving out some of the words that in many languages a sentence would need in order to be complete. You can supply these words from the context if that would be clearer in your language. Alternate translation: [nor has he turned away his covenant faithfulness from me]

Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / abstractnouns

וְ֝⁠חַסְדּ֗⁠וֹ

and,his_covenant_of,loyalty

If your language does not use an abstract noun for the idea of covenant faithfulness, you could express the same idea in another way. Alternate translation: [or his loyal love]
