PSA 89:9 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.

UTN uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

אַתָּ֣ה מ֭וֹשֵׁל בְּ⁠גֵא֣וּת הַ⁠יָּ֑ם

(Some words not found in UHB: you(ms) rule over,the_rising_up_of the=sea when,rise_up waves_of,its you(ms) you,calm_them )

Here Ethan is speaking as if the surging of the sea represented chaotic forces that oppose God. Your language may have a comparable expression that you can use in your translation, or you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: [You are ruling over the raging of the sea] or [You control the powerful forces of the sea]

Note 2 topic: writing-pronouns

אַתָּ֥ה תְשַׁבְּחֵֽ⁠ם

(Some words not found in UHB: you(ms) rule over,the_rising_up_of the=sea when,rise_up waves_of,its you(ms) you,calm_them )

Ethan is stating the pronoun you separately, even though the verb already includes this meaning. He is doing that to emphasize that it is Yahweh alone who has the power to calm the waves. If a speaker of your language would use an explicit pronoun for the same purpose, you may want to use that construction in your translation. If not, your language may have other ways of showing the meaning here. Alternate translation: [you alone still them]
