PSA 73:21 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

כִּ֭י יִתְחַמֵּ֣ץ לְבָבִ֑⁠י וְ֝⁠כִלְיוֹתַ֗⁠י אֶשְׁתּוֹנָֽן

(Some words not found in UHB: that/for/because/then/when embittered heart_of,my and,kidneys_of,my pricked )

The phrases When my heart was embittered and I was pierced in my kidneys mean basically the same thing. The second phrase emphasizes the meaning of the first by repeating the same idea with different words. Hebrew poetry was based on this kind of repetition, and it would be good to show this to your readers by including both phrases in your translation rather than combining them. However, if it would be helpful to your readers, you could connect the phrases with a word other than and in order to show that the second phrase is repeating the first one, not saying something additional. Alternate translation: [When my heart was embittered, yes, when I was pierced in my kidneys]
