PSA 68:9 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.

UTN uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / possession

גֶּ֣שֶׁם נְ֭דָבוֹת תָּנִ֣יף

(Some words not found in UHB: rain_of abundant shed_abroad ʼElohīm inheritance_of,your (and),weary you(ms) you,established_it )

The psalmist is using the possessive form to describe a rain that is characterized by generosities. If a speaker of your language would not use the possessive form for this, you could express this idea in another way. Alternate translation: [You poured out abundant rainfall]

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / abstractnouns

גֶּ֣שֶׁם נְ֭דָבוֹת

(Some words not found in UHB: rain_of abundant shed_abroad ʼElohīm inheritance_of,your (and),weary you(ms) you,established_it )

If your language does not use an abstract noun for the idea of generosities, you could express the same idea in another way. Alternate translation: [A generous rainful]

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

נַחֲלָתְ⁠ךָ֥

inheritance_of,your

David is speaking as if the land of Israel were actually Yahweh’s inheritance, that is, as if it were something that belonged to him permanently because he inherited it from an ancestor. If it would be helpful in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: [the land that belongs to you]

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / activepassive

וְ֝⁠נִלְאָ֗ה

(and),weary

The expression when it was wearied is a passive verbal form. If it would be unnatural to use that form, you could express the idea in active form or in another way that is natural in your language. Alternate translation: [when it grew weary]

Note 5 topic: writing-pronouns

אַתָּ֥ה כֽוֹנַנְתָּֽ⁠הּ

(Some words not found in UHB: rain_of abundant shed_abroad ʼElohīm inheritance_of,your (and),weary you(ms) you,established_it )

The psalmist is stating the pronoun you separately, even though the verb translated as you established already includes this meaning. He is doing that to emphasize that God himself is the one who acted. If a speaker of your language would use an explicit pronoun for the same purpose, you may want to use that construction in your translation. If not, your language may have other ways of showing the meaning here. Alternate translation: [indeed, you established it]
