PSA 89:4 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.

until forever establish offspring_of,your and,I_will_build to,a_generation and,a_generation (Some words not found in UHB: until forever establish offspring_of,your and,I_will_build to,a_generation and,a_generation throne_of,your selah )

If it would be more natural in your language, you could express this as an indirect quotation. Alternate translation: [I swore that I will establish his seed until forever, and I will build up his throne to generation and generation]

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

אָכִ֣ין זַרְעֶ֑⁠ךָ

establish offspring_of,your

Here Ethan is speaking as if descendants were seed that is planted. Your language may have a comparable expression that you can use in your translation, or you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: [I will establish your descendants] or [I will establish your offspring]

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

וּ⁠בָנִ֨יתִי לְ⁠דֹר־וָ⁠ד֖וֹר כִּסְאֲ⁠ךָ֣

and,I_will_build to,a_generation and,a_generation (Some words not found in UHB: until forever establish offspring_of,your and,I_will_build to,a_generation and,a_generation throne_of,your selah )

Ethan is using build up your throne as a common expression of the culture to mean “firmly establish your rule.” If this phrase does not have that meaning for your readers, you could use a comparable expression from your language that does have that meaning, or you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: [I will firmly establish your rule] or [I will make your kingdom strong]

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / metonymy

כִּסְאֲ⁠ךָ֣

(Some words not found in UHB: until forever establish offspring_of,your and,I_will_build to,a_generation and,a_generation throne_of,your selah )

Here, your throne represents royal authority and rule. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use an equivalent expression or plain language. Alternate translation: [your royal authority]
