PSA 68:23 Parallel Verse View

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.

so_that (Some words not found in UHB: so_that shatter foot_of,your in,blood tongues_of your(pl)_dogs_of,your [will,be]_from_[the]_enemies portion_of,its )

Here, so that your foot may smash in blood marks the purpose of the Lord’s bringing the enemies back. Use a connector in your language that makes it clear that this is the purpose. Alternate translation: [in order that your foot may smash in blood]

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

תִּֽמְחַ֥ץ רַגְלְ⁠ךָ֗ בְּ֫⁠דָ֥ם

(Some words not found in UHB: so_that shatter foot_of,your in,blood tongues_of your(pl)_dogs_of,your [will,be]_from_[the]_enemies portion_of,its )

Here the psalmist is speaking of total victory over enemies as if it were to smash in blood with one’s foot. Your language may have a comparable expression that you can use in your translation, or you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: [your foot may trample over the defeated enemies]

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / ellipsis

לְשׁ֥וֹן כְּלָבֶ֑י⁠ךָ מֵ⁠אֹיְבִ֥ים מִנֵּֽ⁠הוּ

tongues_of (Some words not found in UHB: so_that shatter foot_of,your in,blood tongues_of your(pl)_dogs_of,your [will,be]_from_[the]_enemies portion_of,its )

The psalmist is leaving out some of the words that in many languages a sentence would need in order to be complete. A verb such as “will lick” is implied. You can supply these words from the context if that would be clearer in your language. Alternate translation: [“the tongue of your dogs will taste its portion from the enemies”]

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / synecdoche

לְשׁ֥וֹן כְּלָבֶ֑י⁠ךָ

tongues_of (Some words not found in UHB: so_that shatter foot_of,your in,blood tongues_of your(pl)_dogs_of,your [will,be]_from_[the]_enemies portion_of,its )

The psalmist is using one part of the dogs, their tongue, to mean the dogs in the act of licking. If it would be helpful in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: [your dogs will lick]

Note 5 topic: writing-pronouns

רַגְלְ⁠ךָ֗ & כְּלָבֶ֑י⁠ךָ

foot_of,your & (Some words not found in UHB: so_that shatter foot_of,your in,blood tongues_of your(pl)_dogs_of,your [will,be]_from_[the]_enemies portion_of,its )

The pronoun your in both “your foot” and “your dogs” refers to God’s people, Israel. It may be helpful to clarify this for your readers. Alternate translation: [Israel’s foot … Israel’s dogs]
