Note: This view shows ‘verses’ which are not 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 / rquestion

מִֽי־יָק֣וּם לִ֭⁠י עִם־מְרֵעִ֑ים

who? rises_up to=me with wicked

The psalmist is using the question form for emphasis. If a speaker of your language would not use the question form for that purpose, you could translate this as a statement or as an exclamation. Alternate translation: [I cannot find anyone who will will rise up for me against the evildoers.]

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / rquestion

מִֽי־יִתְיַצֵּ֥ב לִ֝⁠י עִם־פֹּ֥עֲלֵי אָֽוֶן

who? who? (Some words not found in UHB: who? rises_up to=me with wicked who? stands_up to=me with workers_of iniquity )

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / parallelism

מִֽי־יָק֣וּם לִ֭⁠י עִם־מְרֵעִ֑ים מִֽי־יִתְיַצֵּ֥ב לִ֝⁠י עִם־פֹּ֥עֲלֵי אָֽוֶן

who? rises_up to=me with wicked who? (Some words not found in UHB: who? rises_up to=me with wicked who? stands_up to=me with workers_of iniquity )

These two phrases Who will rise up for me against the evildoers and Who will stand up for me against the workers of wickedness mean basically the same thing. The second emphasizes the meaning of the first by repeating the same idea with different words. Hebrew poetry was based on this kind of repetition, and you may want to show this to your readers by including both phrases in your translation. If it is helpful, you could connect the phrases in a way that shows that the second phrase is repeating the first one, not saying something additional. Alternate translation: [Who will rise up for me against the evildoers? I say again, who will stand up for me against the workers of wickedness]

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / abstractnouns

פֹּ֥עֲלֵי אָֽוֶן

(Some words not found in UHB: who? rises_up to=me with wicked who? stands_up to=me with workers_of iniquity )

If your language does not use an abstract noun for the idea of wickedness, you could express the same idea in another way. Alternate translation: [the people doing wicked things]
