PSA 73:21 Parallel Verse View

Note: This view shows ‘verses’ which are not natural language units and hence sometimes only part of a sentence will be visible. Normally the OET discourages the reading of individual ‘verses’, but this view is only designed as a tool for doing comparisons of different translations. Click on any Bible version abbreviation down the left-hand side to see the verse in more of its context. The OET segments on this page are still very early looks into the unfinished 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

that/for/because/then/when embittered heart_of,my and,heart_of,my pricked

The clause When my heart was embittered and the clause I was pierced in my kidneys mean basically the same thing. The second clause 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”
