PSA 6:6 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 / abstractnouns

יָגַ֤עְתִּי ׀ בְּֽ⁠אַנְחָתִ֗⁠י

(Some words not found in UHB: weary by,groaning_of,my flood in,every_of night bed_of,my with,tear[s]_of,my couch_of,my drench )

The author’s groaning represents the pain or distress that he feels. If your language does not use an abstract noun for that idea, you could express the same idea in another way. Alternate translation: [I am very tired because I hurt]

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / parallelism

מִטָּתִ֑⁠י & עַרְשִׂ֥⁠י

(Some words not found in UHB: weary by,groaning_of,my flood in,every_of night bed_of,my with,tear[s]_of,my couch_of,my drench )

These are different words for the same thing. Alternate translation: [my sleeping place … my sleeping place]

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / hyperbole

אַשְׂחֶ֣ה בְ⁠כָל־לַ֭יְלָה מִטָּתִ֑⁠י בְּ֝⁠דִמְעָתִ֗⁠י עַרְשִׂ֥⁠י אַמְסֶֽה

(Some words not found in UHB: weary by,groaning_of,my flood in,every_of night bed_of,my with,tear[s]_of,my couch_of,my drench )

The psalmist says his tears cause his bed to swim and his couch to melt as extreme statements for emphasis. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use a different way to express the emphasis. Alternate translation: [Every night my bed gets very wet from my many tears that make my whole couch very wet]
