PSA 69:21 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.

(Some words not found in UHB: and,they_put in,food_of,my head and,for,thirst_of,my they,gave_me_to_drink vinegar )

David uses the word But here to indicate a contrast between the sympathy he hoped for and the cruelty he received. In your translation, indicate this contrast in a way that is natural in your language. Alternate translation: [Instead, they put gall in my food]

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / metonymy

וַ⁠יִּתְּנ֣וּ בְּ⁠בָרוּתִ֣⁠י רֹ֑אשׁ וְ֝⁠לִ⁠צְמָאִ֗⁠י

(Some words not found in UHB: and,they_put in,food_of,my head and,for,thirst_of,my they,gave_me_to_drink vinegar )

Here, they put gall in my food represents the idea that David’s enemies gave him what was harmful instead of what was nourishing. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use an equivalent expression or plain language. Alternate translation: [they gave me something bitter to eat]
