Psalm 57:4

When I read Psalm 57 in German, I noticed a minor feature in the structure of verse 5:

Ich liege mitten unter Löwen; verzehrende Flammen sind die Menschen, ihre Zähne sind Spieße und Pfeile und ihre Zungen scharfe Schwerter.

In English, this is verse 4.  Here's the NKJV:

My soul is among lions; I lie among the sons of men who are set of fire, whose teeth are spears and arrows, and their tongue a sharp sword.

In both translations, the parallelism in the second half of the verse is highlighted by alliteration:

ihre Zähne sind Spieße

ihre Zungen scharfe Schwerter

whose teeth are spears

their tongue a sharp sword

Psalm 56:1

When I read Psalm 56 in German, I noticed alliteration and assonance in the second verse:

Gott, sei mir gnädig, denn Menschen stellen mir nach; täglich bekämpfen und bedrängen sie mich.

In the ESV, this is verse 1:

Be gracious to me, O God, for man tramples on me; all day long an attacker oppresses me.

although the German translation is something more like:

God, be merciful to me, for men are after me; daily, they fight and harass me.

The repetition involved in these rhetorical devices provides a sense of this constancy.

Isaiah 43:5-6

Last summer and again more recently, I found elements in Isaiah 43:5-6 that emphasize the completeness that's also indicated more plainly by the various directions listed.

In the ESV, the second part of verse 5 features a chiasm:

I will bring your offspring

from the east,

and from the west

I will gather you.

The inverted structure highlights these opposite directions and consequently this breadth.  It isn't in the Hebrew, however:

מִמִּזְרָח אָבִיא זַרְעֶךָ וּמִֽמַּעֲרָב אֲקַבְּצֶֽךָּ

from the east, I will bring your offspring, and from the west, I will gather you

The first part of verse 6 includes both positive and negative commands:

I will say to the north, Give up, and to the south, Do not withhold.

אֹמַר לַצָּפוֹן תֵּנִי וּלְתֵימָן אַל־תִּכְלָאִי

"Give up" and "Do not withhold" describe basically the same action, but the way in which these commands are expressed (both positively and negatively) provides a sense of totality.

Psalm 55:4

When I read Psalm 55 in German, I noticed a pair of synonyms in verse 5:  "Mein Herz ängstet sich in meinem Leibe, und Todesfurcht ist auf mich gefallen."  "Ängstet sich" and "Todesfurcht" both mean fear (first as a verb and then as a noun, "fear of death" specifically).  In the ESV, however (where this is verse 4), it's translated as "My heart is in anguish within me; the terrors of death have fallen upon me."  That the descriptions of these two fears (or "anguish" and "terrors") encompass both the internal ("in meinem Leibe" "within me" [literally "in my body"]) and the external ("auf mich" "upon me") provides a sense of totality.

In the Latin Vulgate, these phrases are "in vitalibus meis" ("in my vitals," akin to the Hebrew בְּקִרְבִּי) and "super me" ("upon me," עָלָֽי).
