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.

UTN uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / idiom

הַר־אֱ֭לֹהִים

mountain_of ʼElohīm

The psalmist is using a mountain of God as a common expression of the culture to mean “a very great mountain.” If this phrase does not have that meaning for your readers, you could use a comparable expression from your language that does have that meaning, or you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: [a magnificent mountain]

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / possession

הַ֥ר גַּ֝בְנֻנִּ֗ים

mountain_of (Some words not found in UHB: mountain_of ʼElohīm mountain_of Bāshān mountain_of peaks mountain_of Bāshān )

The psalmist is using the possessive form to describe a mountain that is characterized by having many peaks. If a speaker of your language would not use the possessive form for this, you could express this idea in another way. Alternate translation: [a many-peaked mountain]
