Psalm 133/Translation/PTS/7
From Psalms: Layer by Layer
Step 7. Content Check
Checking exegetical faithfulness
The purpose of this step is to check the content for faithfulness and trustworthiness to the source translations (whether Hebrew or some other version(s)). Review the draft translation in detail, using the oral recording of Step 5 or the transcription of Step 6.
This is the step where a consultant check would be most appropriate. If no consultant is available, you, the facilitator, may use the Translation and Performance Notes (as well as any other desired exegetical materials, such as Layer by Layer’s resources) to conduct an exegetical check of the psalm. Don’t forget about big-picture accuracy as well as accuracy on the level of word and line.
