PSA 71:19 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.

וְ⁠צִדְקָתְ⁠ךָ֥ אֱלֹהִ֗ים עַד־מָ֫ר֥וֹם

and,righteousness_of,your ʼElohīm until high_heavens

David is speaking of God’s righteousness as if it were something that could reach up to a height. He means that God’s righteousness is very great. Alternate translation: [Great is For your righteousness, God is very great]

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / abstractnouns

וְ⁠צִדְקָתְ⁠ךָ֥

and,righteousness_of,your

If your language does not use an abstract noun for the idea of righteousness, you could express the same idea in another way. Alternate translation: [How righteous you are]

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / rquestion

מִ֣י כָמֽוֹ⁠ךָ

who? [is]_like,you

David is using the question form to emphasize that no one is like God. If a speaker of your language would not use the question form for that purpose, you could translate this as a statement or as an exclamation. Alternate translation: [there is no one like you.] or [no one is like you!]
