PSA 92:5 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

מְ֝אֹ֗ד עָמְק֥וּ מַחְשְׁבֹתֶֽי⁠ךָ

very deep (Some words not found in UHB: what? great works_of,your YHWH very deep thoughts_of,your )

Here the psalmist is speaking of God’s thoughts as if they were a deep pool of water because we cannot see or reach them. Your language may have a comparable expression that you can use in your translation. If not, you could state this as a comparison. Alternate translation: [Your thoughts are like a deep pool to us]

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / abstractnouns

מַחְשְׁבֹתֶֽי⁠ךָ

(Some words not found in UHB: what? great works_of,your YHWH very deep thoughts_of,your )

The word thoughts is an abstract noun that refers to what someone thinks. Some languages may not use abstract nouns. If this is true in your language, you could translate this with a verb, such as “what you think.” Alternate translation: [The things you think] or [Your plans]
