So again , I claim that there is more de or DE in most Bible translations . I am limited to the English language in my personal observations though . Regardless of the particular promo of any translation -- it has a fair share of DE . Even the HCS has some DE renderings at times while the NLT is more in the formal category . There is a continuum in Bible translations -- it is hard to calibrate . But I want to emphasize that some DE renderings are more accurate , faithful to the original , and better than a more formally expressed version . Of course the opposite can happen as well . But to simply say ( or infer ) that the De way is not as God-honoring is wrong .
While thumbing through my HCS I came across a number of footnotes which gave a more literal rendering . A more understandable wording remained in the text itself . Here a few I found in the Psalms .
4:5 Sacrifice sacrifices of righteousness
7:8 integrity on me
7:9 examines hearts and kidneys
11:4 His eyelids examine
17:8 as the pupil , the daughter of the eye
17:10 have closed up their fat
35:13 prayer returned to my chest
55:9 and divide their tongues
63:5 with fat and fatness
73:10 and waters of fullness are drained by them
73:21 my kidneys
78:63 virgins were not praised
102:20 free sons of death
103:5 satisfies your ornament
106:20 they exchanged God
109:20 denied from fat
132:3 into the couch of my bed
139:13 my kidneys
144:7 down your hands
