PSA 68:7 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.

בְּ֭⁠צֵאתְ⁠ךָ לִ⁠פְנֵ֣י עַמֶּ֑⁠ךָ בְּ⁠צַעְדְּ⁠ךָ֖ בִֽ⁠ישִׁימ֣וֹן

(Some words not found in UHB: ʼElohīm when,you,went_out to=(the)_face_of/in_front_of/before people_of,your when,marched,you in,a_desolate_place selah )

The psalmist is using the clause when you went out to the face of your people, when you marched in the wilderness to describe something that was ongoing. This provides the background for the events he describes in verse 8. Connect this clause to the following verse in a way that makes it clear in your language that this clause is describing something that was ongoing in the background. Alternate translation: [as you went out before your people, as you marched through the wilderness]
