PSA 70:1 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 / parallelism

אֱלֹהִ֥ים לְ⁠הַצִּילֵ֑⁠נִי יְ֝הוָ֗ה לְ⁠עֶזְרָ֥תִ⁠י חֽוּשָֽׁ⁠ה

ʼElohīm (Some words not found in UHB: ʼElohīm to,deliver,me YHWH to,help_of,my make,haste )

These two phrases Hurry, God, to deliver me and Yahweh, to my help mean basically the same thing. The second emphasizes the meaning of the first by repeating the same idea with different words. If it would be helpful to your readers, you could combine them and express the emphasis in another way. Another approach would be to connect the phrases with a word that shows that the second phrase is repeating the first one, not saying something additional. See how you as a team have decided to translate the parallel phrases in the Psalms, and follow that approach here and throughout this psalm. Alternate translation: [Hurry, Yahweh God, to deliver me and help me]

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / imperative

אֱלֹהִ֥ים לְ⁠הַצִּילֵ֑⁠נִי & חֽוּשָֽׁ⁠ה

ʼElohīm (Some words not found in UHB: ʼElohīm to,deliver,me YHWH to,help_of,my make,haste )

This is an imperative, but it communicates a polite request rather than a command. If the imperative does not communicate a polite request for your readers, then use a form in your language that communicates a polite request. It may be helpful to add an expression such as “please” to make this clear. Alternate translation: [Please hurry, God, to deliver me]

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / ellipsis

יְ֝הוָ֗ה לְ⁠עֶזְרָ֥תִ⁠י

YHWH to,help_of,my

David is leaving out some of the words that in many languages a sentence would need in order to be complete. You can supply these words from the context if that would be clearer in your language. Alternate translation: [Yahweh, hurry to my help]

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / abstractnouns

לְ⁠עֶזְרָ֥תִ⁠י

to,help_of,my

If your language does not use an abstract noun for the idea of help, you could express the same idea in another way. Alternate translation: [to help me]
