PSA 9:12 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: translate-unknown

דֹרֵ֣שׁ דָּ֭מִים

avenges (Some words not found in UHB: that/for/because/then/when avenges blood ,them male not forget cry_of afflicted )

Here, the seeker refers to the avenger of blood, who hunts down and kills a murderer. Yahweh is the avenger in this case. See Numbers 35 for more information.

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

אוֹתָ֣⁠ם זָכָ֑ר

,them male

The implication is that the seeker of vengeance will remember to avenge for the murder of them (the victims calling for justice). You could include this information if that would be helpful to your readers. Alternate translation: [remembered to avenge those who were murdered]

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / abstractnouns

דֹרֵ֣שׁ דָּ֭מִים אוֹתָ֣⁠ם

avenges (Some words not found in UHB: that/for/because/then/when avenges blood ,them male not forget cry_of afflicted )

If your language does not use abstract nouns for the ideas of seeker, vengeance, and bloodshed, you could express the same ideas in other ways. Alternate translation: [the one who seeks to avenge anyone who was murdered … them]

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / doublenegatives

לֹֽא־שָׁ֝כַ֗ח

not (Some words not found in UHB: that/for/because/then/when avenges blood ,them male not forget cry_of afflicted )

If it would be clearer in your language, you could use a positive expression to translate this double negative that consists of the negative particle not and the negative idea of forget. Alternate translation: [he surely remembers]

Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / nominaladj

עניים

afflicted

The psalmist is using the adjective poor as a noun to mean a certain kind of person. Your language may use adjectives in the same way. If not, you can translate this adjective with an equivalent phrase. Alternate translation: [poor people]
