PSA 67:34 — alternate verse numbering

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.

לָ֭⁠רֹכֵב בִּ⁠שְׁמֵ֣י שְׁמֵי־קֶ֑דֶם

to,rider (Some words not found in UHB: to,rider in_[the],heavens_of heavens_of ancient if he/it_gave with,voice_of,his sound/voice mighty )

Here the psalmist is speaking of God as if he were the rider on the heavens, of the heavens of antiquity. Your language may have a comparable expression that you can use in your translation, or you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: [to him who rules over the ancient skies]

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / possession

שְׁמֵי־קֶ֑דֶם

(Some words not found in UHB: to,rider in_[the],heavens_of heavens_of ancient if he/it_gave with,voice_of,his sound/voice mighty )

The psalmist is using this possessive form to mean the highest and most ancient heavens. It may be helpful to clarify this for your readers. Alternate translation: [the highest ancient heavens]

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

הֵ֥ן יִתֵּ֥ן בְּ֝⁠קוֹל⁠וֹ ק֣וֹל עֹֽז

if (Some words not found in UHB: to,rider in_[the],heavens_of heavens_of ancient if he/it_gave with,voice_of,his sound/voice mighty )

The psalmist is using the term Behold to focus his listeners’ attention on what he is about to say. Your language may have a comparable expression that you can use in your translation. Alternate translation: [Listen! he utters with his voice, a voice of power]

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / abstractnouns

ק֣וֹל עֹֽז

sound/voice mighty

If your language does not use an abstract noun for the idea of power, you could express the same idea in another way. Alternate translation: [a powerful voice]

Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / reduplication

בְּ֝⁠קוֹל⁠וֹ ק֣וֹל עֹֽז

(Some words not found in UHB: to,rider in_[the],heavens_of heavens_of ancient if he/it_gave with,voice_of,his sound/voice mighty )

The psalmist is repeating forms of the word voice in order to intensify his expression of the idea that it conveys. If your language can repeat words for intensification, it would be appropriate to do that here in your translation. If not, your language may have another way of expressing the intensification. Alternate translation: [with his great, powerful voice]
