Parallel PSA 71:2

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

בְּ⁠צִדְקָתְ⁠ךָ֗

(Some words not found in UHB: in,righteousness_of,your you,will_rescue_me and,you,will_deliver_me incline to=me ear_of,your and,save,me )

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: [Because you act righteously]

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / imperative

תַּצִּילֵ֥⁠נִי וּֽ⁠תְפַלְּטֵ֑⁠נִי

(Some words not found in UHB: in,righteousness_of,your you,will_rescue_me and,you,will_deliver_me incline to=me ear_of,your and,save,me )

These are imperatives, but they communicate a polite request rather than a command. If the imperatives do 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 deliver me and rescue me]

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / doublet

תַּצִּילֵ֥⁠נִי וּֽ⁠תְפַלְּטֵ֑⁠נִי

(Some words not found in UHB: in,righteousness_of,your you,will_rescue_me and,you,will_deliver_me incline to=me ear_of,your and,save,me )

The terms deliver and rescue mean similar things. David is using the two terms together for emphasis. If it would be clearer for your readers, you could express the emphasis with a single phrase. Alternate translation: [completely deliver me]

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / imperative

הַטֵּֽה־אֵלַ֥⁠י אָ֝זְנְ⁠ךָ֗ וְ⁠הוֹשִׁיעֵֽ⁠נִי

(Some words not found in UHB: in,righteousness_of,your you,will_rescue_me and,you,will_deliver_me incline to=me ear_of,your and,save,me )

These are imperatives, but they communicate a polite request rather than a command. If the imperatives do 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 incline your ear to me and save me]

Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / idiom

הַטֵּֽה־אֵלַ֥⁠י אָ֝זְנְ⁠ךָ֗

(Some words not found in UHB: in,righteousness_of,your you,will_rescue_me and,you,will_deliver_me incline to=me ear_of,your and,save,me )

Here, incline your ear to me is a common expression that means “listen to me carefully.” If it would be helpful in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: [listen carefully to me]
