PSA 7:3 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.

Note: Automatic aligning of the OET-RV to the LV is done by some temporary software, hence the OET-RV alignments are incomplete (and may occasionally be wrong).

Vel si modo est iniquitas in manibus, id est, operibus meis.

7.4 Master, when/but_if I_did this. There. To literally from/about David, and Absalom. When/But_if I_did this, that it_is, when/but_if this evil to_me through passed_away/past_tense guilt happened.

AUG. When/But_if I_did this, or, universal sin/transgression, that without by_name he/she_said, that it_is pride, which it_is root of_all of_evil. Or, that follows, when/but_if it_is iniquity, that from/about all sin accepted. When/But_if I_returned. There. That it_is, when/but_if you(sg) not/no I_am imitated in/into/on just silence, that it_is, patience/endurance, which for me worked you_are. I_will_fall deservedly away enemies. There. Not/No oath this to_himself invokes_curses, but he_says that happens himself claiming: prophesies therefore, not/no swears/promises through imprecation; that it_is heaviest of_oath kind/class.

UTN uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / possession

אֱ֭לֹהַ⁠י

God_of,my

The psalmist is not using the phrase my God to mean that he possesses or controls Yahweh, but rather to emphasize that Yahweh is the God he worships. See the introduction to Psalms for further discussion. Alternate translation: [the God whom I worship]

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

אִֽם־יֶשׁ־עָ֥וֶל בְּ⁠כַפָּֽ⁠י

if there_is wrong (Some words not found in UHB: YHWH God_of,my if done this(f) if there_is wrong in,palms_of,my )

Here the psalmist is speaking of wrong as if it were something that could be held in someone’s hands. Your language may have a comparable expression that you could use in your translation, or you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: [if I have done something wrong with my hands] or [if I have treated someone wrongly]

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / abstractnouns

אִֽם־יֶשׁ־עָ֥וֶל בְּ⁠כַפָּֽ⁠י

if there_is wrong (Some words not found in UHB: YHWH God_of,my if done this(f) if there_is wrong in,palms_of,my )

If your language does not use an abstract noun for the idea of wrong, you could express the same idea in another way. Alternate translation: [if I have wronged someone]
