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.

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / possession

מַלְכֵ֣י צְ֭בָאוֹת

kings_of armies/messengers

The psalmist is using the possessive form to mean kings who command armies. If a speaker of your language would not use the possessive form for this, you could express this idea in another way. Alternate translation: [Kings who command armies]

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / doublet

יִדֹּד֣וּ⁠ן יִדֹּד֑וּ⁠ן

(Some words not found in UHB: kings_of armies/messengers they,flee they,flee and_[the],beautiful_woman_of home divide spoil )

The words flee and they flee mean similar things. The psalmist is using the two words together for emphasis. If it would be clearer for your readers, you could express the emphasis with a single phrase. Alternate translation: [they flee in great haste]

Note 3 topic: writing-pronouns

יִדֹּד֑וּ⁠ן וּ⁠נְוַת בַּ֝֗יִת תְּחַלֵּ֥ק

(Some words not found in UHB: kings_of armies/messengers they,flee they,flee and_[the],beautiful_woman_of home divide spoil )
