The Key Word — יֵרָאֶ֣ה, ye.ra.'Ehgenerated
The verb יֵרָאֶ֣ה (ye.ra.'Eh) is a form of רָאָה (ra'ah), meaning 'to see' or 'to look after'. In this context, it conveys the idea of God's work becoming visible to His servants. The Niphal form indicates a passive action, suggesting that the work is made apparent by God Himself.
This word encompasses both literal sight and the figurative understanding of God's actions. The psalmist's request highlights a desire for God's deeds to be recognized and appreciated, reflecting a deep relationship between the divine and His followers.
How Translations Differ — measured against the Berean Standard Biblegenerated
This study reads the verse in the Berean Standard Bible, so the BSB is the wording every comparison below is made against.
Sentence Structuregenerated
The finite verb יֵרָאֶ֣ה governs the main clause, indicating the action of making God's work visible. The structure includes a series of phrases that elaborate on the subjects and objects involved: God's work, His servants, and their children.
The Hebrew word order places emphasis on God's work first, indicating its significance in the psalmist's request, followed by the subjects who are to witness this revelation.
Septuagint Backgroundgenerated
In the Septuagint, the Hebrew יֵרָאֶ֣ה is rendered as ἐπὶ (epi), meaning 'upon' or 'to'. This choice reflects a slight shift in focus towards the direction of God's revelation rather than the act of seeing itself.
The translation captures the essence of the request but frames it within the context of God's presence being upon His servants and their children.
