PSA 6:4 Parallel Verse View

Note: This view shows ‘verses’ which are not natural language units and hence sometimes only part of a sentence will be visible. Normally the OET discourages the reading of individual ‘verses’, but this view is only designed for doing comparisons of different translations. Click on any Bible version abbreviation down the left-hand side to see the verse in more of its context. The OET segments on this page are still very early looks into the unfinished 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 / metaphor

שׁוּבָ֣⁠ה

(Some words not found in UHB: and,soul_of,my struck_with_terror very and,you YHWH until when? )

Turn back refers to a change from one activity to another, in this case from anger to mercy. If it would be helpful in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “Have mercy on me”

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / abstractnouns

ה֝וֹשִׁיעֵ֗⁠נִי לְמַ֣עַן חַסְדֶּֽ⁠ךָ

(Some words not found in UHB: and,soul_of,my struck_with_terror very and,you YHWH until when? )

If your language does not use an abstract noun for the idea behind the word faithfulness, you could express the same idea in another way. Alternate translation: “Save me because you are faithful to your covenant”
