PSA 89:1 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 1 topic: figures-of-speech / parallelism

חַֽסְדֵ֣י יְ֭הוָה עוֹלָ֣ם אָשִׁ֑ירָה לְ⁠דֹ֥ר וָ⁠דֹ֓ר ׀ אוֹדִ֖יעַ אֱמוּנָתְ⁠ךָ֣ בְּ⁠פִֽ⁠י

steadfast_love_of YHWH forever (Some words not found in UHB: steadfast_love_of YHWH forever sing to,a_generation and,a_generation known faithfulness_of,your with,mouth_of,my )

These two phrases mean basically the same thing. The second emphasizes the meaning of the first by repeating the same idea with different words. If it would be helpful to your readers, you could combine them and express the emphasis in another way. Another approach would be to connect the phrases with a word that shows that the second phrase is repeating the first one, not saying something additional. See how you as a team have decided to translate the parallel phrases in the Psalms, and follow that approach here and throughout this psalm. Alternate translation: [I will always sing about the covenant faithfulness of Yahweh; indeed, I will tell every generation how faithful you are]
