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 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.

אָמְר֣וּ בְ֭⁠לִבָּ⁠ם

Here, both occurrences of the word They refer to God’s adversaries mentioned in Psalms 74:4. If it would be helpful to your readers, you could indicate that explicitly. Alternate translation: “Your adversaries said in their hearts”

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / metonymy

אָמְר֣וּ בְ֭⁠לִבָּ⁠ם

said in/on/at/with,hearts,their

Here, hearts represents the people themselves. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use an equivalent expression or plain language. Alternate translation: “They said within themselves” or “They thought to themselves”

Note 3 topic: translate-plural

כָל־מוֹעֲדֵי־אֵ֣ל

all meeting_places god

Here, the phrase meeting places could: (1) refer to places where Yahweh, the true God was worshiped. Alternate translation: “all of the places where people gathered to worship God” (2) be a special use of the plural in which the plural form is being used with a singular meaning to refer to God’s temple in Jerusalem. Alternate translation: See how you translated the phrase “meeting place” in 74:4.
